Canada's Trudeau to recall parliament late Nov., opposition say he is wasting time

OTTAWA - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday he would reshuffle his cabinet on Oct. 26 and bring back Parliament in late November, prompting opposition complaints of time-wasting.

Trudeau was re-elected to a third term in office on Sept. 20 but for the second time in a row only won a minority of seats in the House of Commons, which means he needs to cooperate with opposition legislators to govern.

The gap between the election and recalling the House on Nov 22 will be 63 days, which is unusually long for Canada. The official opposition Conservatives said Trudeau was dawdling.
