The Prime Minister's Office says the Liberal cabinet will have a brief meeting this Friday.
A separate source with knowledge of the meeting who wasn't authorized to speak publicly said it was scheduled to be 20 minutes long.
Cabinet has to approve some governor-in-council appointments before they can be announced.
The brief meeting will mark the first time cabinet ministers have come together since Liberals' devastating loss in a Toronto byelection last month.
Since then, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been plagued by questions over whether he should resign, and media reports have speculated about a possible cabinet shuffle.
It is not unusual for cabinet to meet less frequently during the summer, as MPs fan out to hit the countrywide barbecue circuit.
