The beginning of the Trudeau era

The Prime Minister-designate hasn't been doing much talking lately -- that will continue until he's sworn in on Wednesday when the Liberals officially return to power. But even without saying much, Justin Trudeau tried to send a signal this week that he would -- as he promised -- do things differently. He went to Queen's Park to meet with Ontario Premier -- and one of his strongest supporters during the campaign -- Kathleen Wynne. We talk to the Ontario Premier about Justin Trudeau's agenda -- and how it overlaps with her priorities.

How do you juggle a promise for gender parity, the need for regional representation, new blood vs experience? Seasoned strategists David McLaughlin, former chief of staff to Brian Mulroney, and Scott Reid, former deputy chief of staff to Paul Martin, join us to discuss the challenges Justin Trudeau is facing as he tries to assemble his first cabinet.

Before waves of new MPs can move in on Parliament Hill, defeated Members of Parliament have to move out. Change is definitely in the air in the nation's capital.The Conservatives are adjusting to their new role as the Official Opposition... And the NDP continues to recover from its fall to third place and the loss of some high profile MPs, including Megan Leslie (she was the party's deputy leader and long-time environment critic). She joins us to talk about the party's future, and what she will do next..

Alberta's NDP government tabled its first budget this week. Finance Minister Joe Ceci joins us to explain the tough choices low oil prices have forced him to make.

Finally, In House panelists Terry Milewski and Jennifer Ditchburn join us to unpack "transition week".
