An Angus Reid poll has indicated that most Canadians do not know the names of two-thirds of federal cabinet ministers.

The most recognizable member of Justin Trudeau's executive council is Finance Minister Bill Morneau. He also happened to score the lowest in his job performance.

Three-quarters of respondents knew his name. Of those, 43 percent thought Morneau was doing a bad job, 23 percent said he was doing a good job, and 34 percent replied that there was a mix of good or bad of they were unsure.

This gave him a rating of minus 20 percent.

The poll came after Morneau was savaged in Parliament for not putting his considerable financial assets in a blind trust. He was also roasted by opposition MPs and the media for introducing legislation affecting pensions when he held $20 million in shares in his former company, Morneau Shepell, which advises companies about employee benefits.

The next most recognizable cabinet minister at 71 percent was Harjit Sajjan, the MP for Vancouver South.

Of those who knew the defence minister's name, 40 percent thought he was doing a good job. One-quarter thought Sajjan was doing a bad job, giving him a plus rating of 15 percent.

The next most recognizable cabinet minister was former astronaut Marc Garneau at 66 percent. The transport minister's plus rating was 21 percent.

Environment Minister Catherine McKenna was next at 63 percent. Her plus rating was 14 percent.

The highest plus rating went to Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale and Sport and Persons With Disabilities Minister Kent Hehr, who each scored 24 percent.

They were followed by Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland at 23 percent.

Only 52 percent of respondents knew the name of Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould.

Of those, 42 percent felt that the Vancouver Granville MP was doing a good job compared to 20 percent who thought she was doing a bad job.

Back in 1969, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's father, Pierre, told the house speaker that opposition MPs were nobodies when they were "50 yards from Parliament Hill".

But now, it appears that much of the Liberal cabinet is little known, with a solid majority not even cracking the 50 percent awareness level in the Angus Reid Institute poll.

The second-least known is Public Services and Procurement Minister Carla Qualtrough, the Liberal MP for Delta.

Only 32 percent of respondents said they knew her name. She had a plus rating of one percent among respondents.

In addition to Morneau, the following federal ministers had negative ratings: National Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthilier (minus 10 percent) Democratic Institutions Minister Karina Gould (minus seven percent), Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister Ahmed Hussen (minus six percent), Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor (minus five percent), Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Caroline Bennett (minus five percent), Infrastructure and Communities Minister Amarjeet Sohi (minus two percent), and Veterans Affairs Minister Seamus O'Regan (minus one percent).
