The federal cabinet will be announced on October 26th. A statement from the Prime Minister’s Office this morning indicated the ministers will then have about a month to settle into their jobs before Parliament is recalled on November 22nd.

In addition to regional representation, the Prime Minister will purportedly commit to a gender balanced cabinet.

The statement says, topping the agenda, will be working with opposition leaders to ensure all members of Parliament are fully vaccinated before Commons resumes.

Early priorities include re-introducing legislation to ban harmful conversion therapy, moving ahead with 10-day paid sick leave for all federally regulated workers, and bringing the provinces and territories together to work on better sick leave for Canadians across the country.
