OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a three-day federal cabinet retreat that is set to take place in Prince Edward Island next week will focus on the economy and affordability issues.

The retreat comes after last month’s cabinet shuffle, which saw most of his front bench take on new positions as part of efforts to better communicate with Canadians and address pocketbook issues.

Cabinet will be meeting in Charlottetown from Aug. 21 to Aug. 23.

Members of Parliament are scheduled to return to the House of Commons on Sept. 18 after the summer break.

In a statement, Trudeau says the gathering will also focus on building more housing, improving health care and fighting climate change.
