The newly minted prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau has just returned from a frantic trip around the world and is now ready to put in place a most aggressive legislative agenda for Canada. Among many improvements Trudeau seeks to make is the legalization of marijuana throughout the country.

Trudeau, 43, is also seeking changes along more traditional lines, reports The New York Times. He is looking to change the way representatives to the House of Commons are elected as well as to have taxes for the middle class reduced and cut wherever possible. He also wants to revamp the process by which senators are appointed so that the position is open to every Canadian citizen. And, yes, he wants to legalize marijuana.

As a member of Canada’s Liberal party he also wants to eliminate many of the reforms that were put into place over the last decade by the Conservative party led by the former prime minister, Stephen Harper. His proposals were officially read by Canada’s governor general who is the official representative of the Queen of England. When running for prime minister, Trudeau promised that “sunny days” will return to his beloved Canada.

Normally, the Canadian Parliament would be on an extended holiday vacation and not called into session by the prime minister for a few more months. However, Trudeau called them together before the winter break in a effort to show them, and the country, that he was serious about his agenda and his reforms.

Trudeau’s speech before the assembled parliament was extremely brief for a politician lasting but a mere 15 minutes. He vowed that the country would uphold its promise of taking in 25,000 refugees from Syria over the next two months but many of the Syrians don’t want to come to far away Canada.

Trudeau also looks to establish more friendly relation with the United States which had undergone some stress and breaking points under former prime minister Harper. He also pledged to help create new programs designed to help Canada’s aboriginal people.
