Sean Kilpatrick/CP Prime Minister Justin Trudeau leaves a press conference at the National Press Theatre in Ottawa on Jan. 17, 2020. “Canadians at our best, in difficult times, are there for each other,” Trudeau said Tuesday in Winnipeg after wrapping up a three-day meeting of his federal cabinet. The government will introduce a motion to apply some of its elements Jan. 27 when Parliament resumes, and will table legislation to ratify the deal two days later. Legislation to ban military-style assault rifles will also be high on the agenda for the first extended sitting of Parliament since the Oct. 21 election reduced Trudeau’s Liberals to a minority. The NDP and the Bloc are likely to oppose NAFTA, but are expected to support efforts to strengthen gun control.
