For the most part, I wouldn't expect today's cabinet shuffle to have much substantive effect given that Stephen Harper doesn't figure to stop micromanaging his cabinet anytime soon. But it's worth noting the bizarre timing of Harper's game of musical chairs.
Remember that it was just weeks ago that Harper sent new mandate letters to his existing cabinet. Now, he's shifted ten of those ministers into new posts before they had time to actually act on the new mandates.
As a result, the shifted ministers and their staff have effectively wasted the interim receiving and dealing with new instructions for positions which Harper apparently didn't intend to keep them in. Which offers just another example of what passes for efficiency from the Cons.
