Depending on the way a PM runs things cabinet ministers don't make policy they execute the P.M's plans. When harper was P.M. everyone knew he and his advisers called the shots and he and is staff spoon feed answers to his ministers. That's why his ministers would repeat the same answer no matter what the question and you had a high school grad as the minister of health.
Also look at the official oppositions shadow cabinet that will give you a good idea on who they will have for ministers if elected.
