Prime Minister Justin Trudeau holds a press conference in Guangzhou, China on Dec. 7, 2017.

He won't shuffle his cabinet or prorogue Parliament and come back with a throne speech laying out a new agenda for the second half of his four-year mandate -- the traditional ways governments try to signal a fresh start.
