World News: Canada’s Trudeau to unveil Cabinet amid push to fight climate change – Gulf Digital News

OTTAWA: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who fell short of a majority in last month's election, will introduce a Cabinet on Tuesday that analysts say should hone in on the fight against climate change.

Trudeau's Liberals gained four seats to 159, but fell short of the 170 needed to pass legislation without the support of an opposition party. Minority governments normally last about two years instead of a full, four-year term.

Trudeau, 49, has promised to spend tens of billions of extra dollars over five years to help the economy recover from the Covid-19 pandemic. But analysts said Ottawa should narrow its focus and make fighting climate change a clear priority.
