Liberal MPs gathered in the scenic Saguenay region of Quebec over the next two days are expected to get a peek at the Trudeau government's plans for climate change and possibly peacekeeping. The source wouldn't reveal precisely what the government plans to do, but the climate change package is up for discussion between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the premiers this fall, and the government needs all Liberal MPs onside ahead of time. The government is expected to make a formal public commitment at a UN peacekeeping conference in London in early September. Today and tomorrow, the broad strokes of Canada's United Nations peacekeeping commitment are likely up for discussion as Liberal MPs gather for a caucus strategy session. Quebec MP Francis Scarpaleggia, the Liberal caucus chair and a long-time MP, tried to keep things in perspective.
