Federal initiatives were mostly paused during the leadership race and subsequent election. The new liberal government is now in place and moving forward by naming a cabinet and working to set priorities.
With the continuing trade war and a possible recession, most initial priorities are focused on strengthening the Canadian economy.
The new Liberal government will focus on: renegotiating Canada's relationship with the United States and strengthening relations with other countries; removing interprovincial trade barriers and expediting major infrastructure projects; helping Canadians with the cost of living; making housing more affordable and catalyzing a modern housing industry; building the Canadian military and reinforcing domestic security; refocusing immigration; and reducing the cost of government operations.
