OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will add rebuilding from British Columbia's devastating floods to his list of priorities when he outlines plans on Tuesday for the new parliamentary session, which include firmer measures to fight climate change.

Trudeau's Liberals were re-elected on Sept. 20, albeit with a second minority government that will need opposition support to pass legislation.
