Prime Minister Stephen Harper has shuffled two of his key ministers to fill the void left at the Department of Foreign Affairs by the departure last week of John Baird.

Harper this morning named Rob Nicholson as his new foreign affairs minister and Jason Kenney to replace Nicholson at the Department of National Defence. Kenney will keep his responsibilities as minister for multiculturalism.
