Radio-Canada's Louis Blouin reports that there's likely to be a lot of new faces joining cabinet and a number of familiar ones leaving it Tuesday, as Prime Minister Mark Carney seeks to both focus his front bench and differentiate himself from his predecessor. Former Conservative chief of staff David McLaughlin and former Liberal deputy chief of staff Michele Cadario discuss the message Carney needs to send with his ministerial choices. Plus, Asia Pacific Foundation vice-president of research and strategy Vina Nadjibulla dissects why both China and the U.S. were willing to come to a deal that hacks down tariffs despite recent trade war escalations.
