The news release says cabinet ministers and secretaries of state will discuss progress on the priorities laid out in their mandate letters and make plans for “delivering change in the year ahead.”

Cabinet will hear from experts in finance, community services, advanced technology and global affairs, the news release says.

The retreat comes just after Carney returns from a nine-day trip around the world to drum up investment abroad.

In a speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, Carney said the old world order is dead and urged middle powers to band together as larger ones try to pressure them through economic coercion.
