Items on the itinerary for Trudeau's visit included a visit with families to discuss the Canada Child Benefit, a press conference and a meeting with Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Dwight Ball at MUN's Grenfell Campus.

Trudeau was also planning to meet with members of the Little Port fishing community.

It's not clear if the trip will be rescheduled.
