Before joining the Liberal Party, Guilbeault gained notoriety for illegally climbing the C.N. Tower to protest Canada's inaction over climate change.
Guilbeault was appointed as Environment Minister during Trudeau's post-election reshuffle. Previously, he served as the Heritage Minister, where he became associated with the internet legislation bills like C-10.
During the election, the Conservative Party alleged that this amounted to nothing less than internet censorship.
Guilbeault is expected to attend the United Nations climate change conference in Glasgow (COP26) where Trudeau will also be in attendance alongside other world leaders, according to CBC News.
The previous Environment Minister Johnathan Wilkinson is expected to be shuffled to Natural Resources.
