DAN ALBAS -- These situations affect all of us and hopefully within a minority Government, MP's can better work together across party lines to see more results being achieved
By this time next week it is expected that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will have announced his cabinet choices for the upcoming 43rd Parliament. In turn, the Opposition parties will also announce their respective official critics in response. The first week of December, Canada’s 43rd Parliament will be convened to elect the Speaker, followed by the Liberal minority government delivering its first Speech from the Throne - an outline of the Government’s priorities. The content of the Throne Speech is still unknown, although this week the Prime Minister has been meeting with leaders of the other opposition parties as well as some Provincial leaders. As I mentioned in last week’s report, it is important to recognize that the Prime Minister only requires the support of one of the three major parties in order to secure enough votes to prevent the government from falling.
