What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
With just over a week to go until the House of Commons reopens for business, Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to spend the next two days going over his government’s agenda for the upcoming sitting with his front bench team at what his office is billing as a “Cabinet Planning Forum,” which is on track to get underway at an undisclosed venue somewhere in the Greater Toronto Area this afternoon. (1:45 p.m.)
As per the advisory sent out yesterday, those discussions “will focus on the government’s fall economic priorities: fast-tracking nation-building infrastructure projects (including through the new Major Projects Office), getting the government back in the business of building affordable homes by launching Build Canada Homes, boosting Canada’s defence industries, and ensuring that sectors most impacted by U.S. tariffs have the resources they need to retool and diversify their markets,” as well as “advance the beginnings of Canada’s preparations for the CUSMA review process.”
