What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
Amid a lengthening list of unanswered questions over — and, in some cases, criticism of — Canada’s position on the ongoing U.S-Israel-led military attacks on Iran, Prime Minister Mark Carney — who, along with his travelling entourage, touched down in Sydney, Australia last night — is once again set to take questions from reporters later today after abruptly pulling the plug on a planned media availability before departing New Delhi that, as Canadian Press notes would have been his first media availability since the tricontinental tour kicked off last week.
The travelling press pool did, however, get the chance to cross-examine Defence Minister David McGuinty, who held an on-camera back-and-forth on the latest developments in the Middle East last night, during which he stressed that Canadian military personnel in the region are “all find, out of harms way.”
