“#Time for Justin Trudeau to make a cabinet<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Politics Insider for Oct. 26, 2021: Who will be in and who will be out in the post-election shake-up? Plus, some cranky MPs.\n <\/div>\n
\n Welcome to a sneak peek of the <\/em>Maclean\u2019s Politics Insider news<\/a>letter. Sign up to get it delivered straight to your inbox in the morning. <\/em><\/p>\n

Justin Trudeau will make his way to Rideau Hall at 10:30 a.m. to unveil his post-election cabinet, and we have speculation and prognostication to share.<\/p>\n

Many changes:<\/strong> The Globe<\/em> has the most detailed story<\/a>, reporting that\u00a0Marc Garneau,\u00a0Harjit Sajjan,\u00a0Patty Hajdu<\/strong> and\u00a0Jonathan Wilkinson<\/strong> will all get new jobs.<\/p>\n

Heads will roll:<\/strong> CBC\u00a0reports<\/a> that two or three ministers will be out and\u00a0Harjit Sajjan<\/strong> will be replaced by a woman, maybe\u00a0Anita Anand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Whiteboard it:<\/strong> In Politico<\/em>,\u00a0Nick Taylor-Vaisey,<\/strong> who longtime Insider<\/em> readers will recall fondly, writes that<\/a> Trudeau has such a big job that he will need \u201can erasable, oversized whiteboard to game<\/a> out the next federal cabinet.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also under pressure to reassign Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan<\/strong>, an underperformer who has fallen short on key files \u2014 including fixing a misogynistic military culture. It\u2019s all a recipe for an overhaul of the Cabinet, not an exercise in tinkering. The last group was assembled before a pandemic, and some of the party\u2019s priorities have taken on new urgency and increased public scrutiny. The people in charge of major portfolios will signal to insiders who Trudeau trusts most to see through an ambitious agenda. Some newcomers, including Alberta MP Randy Boissonnault<\/strong>, are instant contenders. But adding one man means either cutting another, or promoting an additional woman. It could get bulky<\/strong>. Trudeau\u2019s last Cabinet had 37 ministers, himself included. Brian Mulroney<\/strong> and Stephen Harper<\/strong> both maxed out at 40. In the end, Trudeau could set a new Canadian record.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Up to Freeland:<\/strong> Global has a policy-oriented overview<\/a>, and agrees with Politico<\/em>\u2018s opinion that it is likely to be bigger than the last cabinet, and it will be up to Chrystia Freeland<\/strong> to manage the economic exit from the pandemic.<\/p>\n

A recent report from CIBC Economics suggested that pent-up consumer spending could be a\u00a0\u201cspringboard\u201d for Canada\u2019s economy<\/a>\u00a0over the next two years \u2014 but noted that Canadians have been \u201ccautious\u201d with their money compared to U.S. consumers, even in sectors not directly hit with pandemic shutdowns.<\/p>\n

For Freeland and the Liberals, the potential risk of persistent inflation is a more troubling economic \u2014 and political \u2014 issue. The consumer price index rose\u00a04.4 per cent year-over-year in September<\/a>, according to Statistics Canada \u2014 the largest increase since 2003. That\u2019s something Canadians feel directly at the gas pump, in grocery stores and restaurants. It\u2019ll be up to Freeland<\/strong> to reassure Canadians that the government has the finance file under control.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Reconciliation decisions:<\/strong> The Canadian Press ponders the challenge<\/a> the government faces in Indigenous reconciliation, and points out that whoever is in charge of that file has some big decisions to make.<\/div>\n

Friday is the deadline for when the Liberal government must decide whether to app<\/a>eal a recent Federal Court decision confirming it should pay $40,000 to First Nations children and their parents or grandparents. A human rights tribunal found Ottawa discriminated against them by underfunding child and family services on reserve. Some 50,000 children could be eligible, meaning the federal government could be on the hook for billions<\/strong> of dollars in compensation. The second ruling Ottawa has gone to court over involves expanding who can qualify for the measure known as Jordan\u2019s Principle<\/strong>, which requires governments to cover the cost of services for First Nations children and then resolve any jurisdictional disputes later on.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Chr\u00e9tien can\u2019t recall:<\/strong> Speaking of Jean Chr\u00e9tien<\/strong>, the 87-year-old former prime minister\u00a0was under fire<\/a> Monday for comments he made during a book-promo interview, in which he said he was not aware of any abuses<\/strong> at residential schools while he was Indian affairs minister, and compared the abuses to his experience at boarding school. Charlie Angus<\/strong> isn\u2019t buying that.\n<\/div>\n

Responding to these assertions on Monday morning, NDP MP and critic for Indigenous youth Charlie Angus<\/strong> cited a hand-written letter<\/strong> he\u2019d read from a teacher to then-minister Chr\u00e9tien that was from St. Anne\u2019s Residential School in Fort Albany, Ont. It was dated 1968, he said. In it, the teacher told him \u201cthat crimes are being committed<\/strong> against children, that he as Indian affairs minister had to step up and do something. And Jean Chr\u00e9tien never responded,\u201d Angus said. \u201cImagine if he had read that letter, and thought \u2018I should do something.\u2019 How many children could have been saved? Because some of the worst crimes were being committed at that time. So it is outrageous for Jean Chr\u00e9tien today, to try and whitewash his role\u2026because he knew people reached out to him and they begged him to do the right thing. And he ignored them,\u201d Angus said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trudeau Europe-bound:<\/strong> After swearing in his new cabinet this week, Trudeau is off to Europe for meetings, CP reports<\/a>.\n<\/div>\n

Reasonable attestation:<\/strong>\u00a0 A Federal Court judge has ruled Ottawa was within its rights<\/strong> to require applicants to its summer-jobs program to declare themselves in support of abortion rights, CP reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sweet time:<\/strong> Cranky Liberal MPs want a caucus meeting, they anonymously tell<\/a> the Hill Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The last federal election took place more than a month ago and the Conservatives, the NDP, and the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois have already held their\u00a0 first national caucus meetings but the Grits have not. \u201cThere\u2019s just like a lot of chatter, and a lot of MPs are pissed off, like really pissed off,\u201d said one Liberal MP who spoke to\u00a0The Hill Times<\/em>\u00a0on a not-for-attribution basis to offer their candid opinion.\u00a0\u201cBecause [MPs want to discuss] what they heard at the doors [during the election campaign] and why they\u2019ve [leadership] been taking their sweet-ass time<\/strong>, and why no one\u2019s reaching out to them [from the leadership].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Not enough:<\/strong> In the Toronto Sun<\/em>, Brian Lilley<\/strong> writes that<\/a>\u00a0Doug Ford<\/strong> and the Trudeau government have yet to make a child-care deal because Ottawa isn\u2019t offering Ontario enough money.<\/p>\n

Gondek skips Chu:\u00a0Jyoti Gondek<\/strong>, Calgary\u2019s first female mayor, was sworn into office on Monday, after which she declined to administer the oath of office to Sean Chu<\/strong>, who was disciplined for having intimate contact with a teenage girl, CBC reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Did Trudeau get paid?<\/strong> An organization that received $5.8 million from the federal government won\u2019t say if it paid the Prime Minister\u2019s mother, Margaret Trudeau<\/strong>, to speak at an event it held this month, CTV reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unjabbed docs sue:<\/strong>\u00a0Four Alberta doctors are suing the provincial health authority over mandatory\u00a0 vaccination, CBC reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny medical procedure performed on a patient without their informed consent amounts to assault,\u201d the statement of claim says.<\/p>\n
