Wednesdays with @Kady Replay: Trudeau takes the Liberal reins

There's always plenty to chat about with Kady O'Malley.

On Wednesdays, CBCNews.ca's Politics blogger convenes a "people's caucus" to discuss and debate the issues of the week.

Featured today:

• Justin Trudeau helmed his first Liberal caucus meeting this morning on Parliament Hill and announced some new critic responsibilities during his post-caucus scrum. He's expected to make major staffingannouncements in the near future. What did you think of hisspeech on Sunday? Hisinterview with Peter Mansbridge? Hisoverall performancein his early days at the wheel?
• Mark Warawaappears to be giving up(at least for now) on hismotion about sex-selection abortions, in favour of another privatemembers bill on a different topic. But the Tory backbench grumbling over the larger issue of a MP'sfreedom of speechseemed to be ramping up, not winding down, with three more Tories voicing support for Warawa's question of privilege putting Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer in the hot seat to clarify the rights and rules that apply to members statements (SO31s) in the Commons. Was this motion sacrificed in a compromise deal? Did Warawa fold under pressure? Or is something else afoot?
• Democratic Reform Minister Tim Uppalsaid yesterday that the Harper government's legislation to reform the Elections Act iscoming tomorrow. Now today... it's not ready. What's going on? And whenever they do proceed, will it be enough to restore confidence in the system as charges, court cases and fresh allegations continue to surface in the robocall affair?
