Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addresses a town hall meeting in Saskatoon, Sask., on Sept. 13, 2018. The Trudeau Liberals have 11 bills left on the order paper from previous sittings, including a massive bill to overhaul federal election laws as well as firearms legislation to widen the scope of background checks for gun purchasers. The Liberals are particularly keen to move quickly on bill C-79 — a bill to implement the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Finalizing this trade deal with the Pacific Rim is necessary to help open new markets for Canadian exports, Chagger said. “Justin Trudeau has had a rough summer,” said Brock Harrison, director of media relations for Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer.
