Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to unveil his government's new affordability plan on Tuesday, as the Liberal caucus retreat wraps up in New Brunswick.

Trudeau will make the announcement, alongside Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, Tourism Minister and Associate Minister of Finance Randy Boissonnault, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Housing, Diversity and Inclusion Ahmed Hussen, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc, and Official Languages Minister and the minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency Ginette Petitpas Taylor.

Sources say the plan includes doubling GST rebate cheques for six months, a temporary dental-care benefit for some families with young children and an expanded housing allowance payment, according to the Canadian Press.

The announcement was supposed to be made last week during a cabinet retreat in Vancouver, but was delayed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
