Liberal Cabinet to Meet in Toronto This Week Ahead of Parliament’s Return

Prime Minister Mark Carney says his cabinet will meet in the Toronto area this week to discuss the Liberal government’s fall priorities ahead of Parliament’s return.

The meetings, scheduled for Sept. 3 and Sept. 4, are set to focus on fast-tracking nation-building infrastructure projects, building affordable homes, boosting Canada’s defence industries, and ensuring sectors most impacted by U.S. tariffs have the resources they need to “retool” and diversify their markets, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said in a Sept. 2 press release. The meeting is being called a “cabinet planning forum” instead of the usual retreat.
