He coldly dispatches capable senior ministers who challenge him on valid issues, the most recent being Bill Morneau, the finance minister who did his job by expressing concern about the federal government’s huge Covid-19 relief spending. The new session starts on September 23 with a speech in which Trudeau will outline his government’s comprehensive plan for the postpandemic recovery, after which the house will hold a confidence vote. If the Liberals and their plan survive the vote, they will in effect have been granted a mandate to enact major reforms, without the usual inconvenience of an election.
