Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his new cabinet this week,
but he won’t be unveiling a budget this year — a move that drew
plenty of criticism from his opponents. Newly appointed Industry
Minister Melanie Joly joins The House to discuss the decision and
weighs in on the new government’s other economic priorities.
Then, two Hill watchers offer their takes on whether Carney’s
cabinet picks deliver on his promise for change.

Plus, weeks after the election, dramatic recounts are still
underway in a handful of ridings, and those results could shake
up the House of Commons even further. An elections expert
explains what’s happening and whether the flip-flopping risks
undermining confidence in elections.

Finally, measles cases are rising in some parts of the country
and provinces are under fire for not doing enough to keep the
public better informed. Two doctors talk to Catherine Cullen
about what can happen when politics and a deadly disease collide.

Melanie Joly, Minister of Industry

Shannon Proudfoot, writer for The Globe and Mail’s Ottawa
bureau

Paul Wells, author and podcaster

Holly Ann Garnett, associate professor of the Royal Military
College of Canada
