- The new Finance Minister is Bill Morneau (see also Finance Minister v2). In my prediction before the election, I didn't include him in my list of names, but I did give "Someone Else" a 55% chance of being Finance Minister. In my second prediction, I gave Morneau a 20% chance of being finance minister (he was second on my list)
- The Foreign Affairs Minister is Stéphane Dion. Before the election, I did not include him in my list of names, but gave "Someone Else" a 60% chance. Dion was a bit of a surprise pick.
- The Defence Minister is Harjit Sajjan, whom I gave a 10% chance of becoming minister (he was 3rd on my list).
- The Justice Minister is Jody Wilson-Raybould. I did not include her in my list of names, but gave "someone else" a 45% chance.
- The Industry Minister is Navdeep Bains (although the title has been renamed to Minister of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development). I did not include him in my list of names, but gave "someone else" a 45% chance
- The Environment Minister is Catherine McKenna. I did not list her as one of my four candidates, but "Someone Else" did get a 45% chance. McKenna was a somewhat surprising pick for Environment Minister.
- The Agriculture Minister is Lawrence MacAulay. I did not list him in my list of top three names, but "someone else" was given a 65% chance of becoming Agriculture Minister. MacAulay is a somewhat surprising pick, given his rather low profile.
- The Aboriginal Affairs Minister is Carolyn Bennett (although the post has been restyled as Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs). I gave her a 10% chance of becoming minister (she was the last person on my list).
