OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he will unveil a new, gender-balanced cabinet on Nov. 20 and is vowing to work with opposition parties in his first public comments since election night, when voters handed the Liberals a minority mandate. He also vowed to find a way to ensure that Alberta and Saskatchewan have a voice in cabinet after the Liberals didn’t earn a seat in either province. To that end, he is promising to sit down with all party leaders to hear their priorities. Through their votes, Canadians have sent a message to the House of Commons that they want new MPs to “work together on the big issues that matter to them,” Trudeau said. “Canadians sent a clear message across the election of multiple parties that affordability and the fight against climate change are really clear priorities that they want this Parliament to work on,” he said.
