Trudeau and Finance Minister Bill Morneau are scheduled to meet on Monday in a bid to sort out their differences, said a fourth source aware of the meeting. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau believes the next federal budget should reflect his commitment to tackling climate change, while Finance Minister Bill Morneau has pushed back against environmental funding.
