“We’re facing tough times right now,” Trudeau said last week during a stop at a Stellantis assembly plant in Windsor, Ont. Affordability was also top of mind at the last Liberal cabinet retreat in Vancouver in September. The government did put some aid on the table including temporary hikes to GST rebates and the federal housing benefit for renters. It also moved on a dental-care benefit for young children as part of the confidence-and-supply agreement the Liberals reached with the NDP last March.

So how have those priorities evolved or changed?”
