What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
A little over a month after clocking in a space-to-earth video chat with Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen during the final days of NASA’s history-making mission to the dark side of the moon, Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to meet Hansen and the rest of the Artemis II crew — as well as Hansen’s fellow Canadian astronaut, Jennie Gibbons — in person this morning. (9:10 a.m.)
He’s also slated to chair a virtual huddle with his front bench team, during which he’s expected to share the latest draft of a “new accord on industrial carbon pricing” with Alberta that “would result in the fee going up to $130 a tonne by 2040,” as per The Globe and Mail.
