Justin Trudeau announced Friday that the new cabinet will be sworn in on October 26 and Parliament will reconvene on November 22.

"The new Cabinet will remain gender balanced, and will continue to deliver for Canadians and find real solutions to the real challenges of today and tomorrow," a statement reads. "As announced last month, Chrystia Freeland will continue to serve as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. With the reconvening of Parliament, the Government of Canada will also deliver a new Throne Speech, which will lay out the government’s progressive plan to finish the fight against COVID-19 and build a better future for everyone."

“From finishing the fight against COVID-19 to getting the job done on $10-a-day child care for families across the country, Canadians chose to move forward in September," Trudeau said in the statement.

"Together, we will keep working hard to beat this virus and get Canadians vaccinated, create jobs and grow the middle class, put homeownership back in reach, accelerate climate action, and take important steps forward on the path of reconciliation. Our government will continue to be there for Canadians in this crisis, and we will work to move Canada forward – for everyone.”

Critics have been quick to point out the hypocrisy in calling the election, "the most important election since 1945" while also having no intention of governing for months.

In addition to the late start, Parliament will only be in session for two weeks and will then pause for the holiday break.
