The former central bank governor’s comments will be made privately during the caucus, but he is expected to address the media afterward.
The Liberals have made other attempts to focus on economic and affordability issues since taking a hit in the polls last year, but those efforts have not resonated in the polls.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is also expected to address his full caucus for the first time since several of his MPs expressed privately and publicly that he was not the person to lead the party in the next election.
