January 28th, 2026
What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
With just one day to go before Prime Minister Mark Carney hosts a high-level huddle with his fellow first ministers, provincial and territorial premiers head behind closed doors for a closed-door meeting of the Council of the Federation, which is slated to get rolling in Ottawa later this morning.
For his part, Carney is also booked in for one-on-one chats with British Columbia Premier David Eby (12:45 p.m.) and Yukon Premier Currie Dixon (4 p.m.), as well as a three-way tête-à-tête with both Eby and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith (1:20 p.m.), before hosting what his office is billing as a “First Ministers’ working dinner” this evening.
