Former Canadian finance minister Walter Gordon voiced optimism that the Trudeau government would unveil a national economic policy this fall. He said cabinet opposition exists, but once the prime minister commits, policy will advance and ministers may align quickly. He spoke during a press conference for a new book on Canada’s new nationalism, praising Gordon as prophet and activist while warning he may oppose a watered down policy.
