Prime Minister Mark Carney is sitting with his cabinet to draw the government’s autumn plan while preparing to face the conservative leader Pierre Poilievre for the first time in the House of Commons in the midst of a commercial war not resolved with the United States.
The two days of Carney conversations in Toronto’s metropolitan area begin on Wednesday with plans to concentrate on helping industries to Trump tariffs, building affordable houses, accelerating large infrastructure projects, spending more in defense and fighting crime.
David Coetto, CEO and founder of Abacus Data, said he is seeing evidence that the public’s approach in the president of the United States, Donald Trump, is beginning to decrease, pressing the Carney government to answer how he plans to address other problems.
“The uncertainty that [Trump is] Creation could be the norm, “said Coletto.” And now they are also looking for the government to address other problems. “
Coletto says that the cost of living, medical attention, crime and immigration are the most important thing for Canadians, along with the commercial war. Pailievre, who campaigned in the promise to address the cost of living, has a press conference scheduled in the Toronto Metropolitan Area on Wednesday focused on Wednesday on immigration.
Pailievre will return to Parliament this month after ensuring a seat known as a conservative fortress in Alberta after its loss of general elections last spring. He accused Carney of making generous concessions to Trump without obtaining anything in return, including the fall of some retaliation tariffs to try to advance in commercial conversations.
One of Carney’s parliamentarians told CBC News that the cabinet cannot ignore Poilievre’s ability to pivot. The conservative leader is resistant, intelligent and his party has a lot of money to attack liberals with advertising or other techniques if he sees an opening, said the deputy.
That parliamentarian, who spoke with the condition that they are not called so that they could speak freely, said they also want the cabinet to talk about their communication approach so that they do not fall the same trap as during the Trudeau years. The party was beating his messages from top to bottom that the public perceived as elitist and arrogant, they said.
Another liberal parliamentarian told CBC News that some members of Caucus are frustrated by the little influence they have. They said that parliamentarians are learning about the decisions that Carney and their office are taking in the news.
That deputy says that the liberals cannot afford to move so far to the right that they alienate the entire base of the PND voters they obtained during the last elections.
Speed -centered
The prime minister’s office says that the pollster Jean-Marc Léger will talk to the cabinet on the surveys and the general mood of the country.
The minister of Jobs and families, Patty Hajdu, says that the cabinet will focus on his Canada construction agenda. He pointed to Dawn Farrell, former head of Trans Mountain Corp., who is in charge of a new office to accelerate Canadian infrastructure projects of national interest.
“We will talk about proposed projects,” said Hajdu. “This is a very ambitious government and I can tell him that the prime minister focuses on the delivery speed.”
The liberal government also faces a call from the Center for Affairs of Israel and Jews to face what calls an “alarming increase in anti -Semitism in our country”, including the growing financing of community security and the prohibition of the glorification of terrorism.
Carney’s conversations with the cabinet are being developed as the liberal government continues to work on a budget that is expected to include a large adjustment of the belt. Carney promised a budget in October after his finance minister originally said that they would only present an autumn economic statement.
The appearance of Carney’s conversations is expected to be different compared to the time of his predecessor in office. The prime minister’s office has moved away from calling the meeting a “cabinet retreat” as he did under the Trudeau government, instead calling him a “cabinet planning forum.”
The Carney Office also said that the forum focuses on work meetings and that certain ministers and panelists will be assigned to speak with journalists in a microphone instead of a free flow of many ministers who stop to go to reporters in the Chamber.
