What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
Barring a last-minute scheduling change, Prime Minister Mark Carney and his opposition counterparts are once againset to stay off the radar today, but a small contingent of ministers is nevertheless expected to hit the pre-holiday circuit.
First up: Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin who, according to her office, will drop by the British Columbia Institute of Technology in Burnaby, B.C., to roll out what the advisory is billing as the “next steps to fight climate change and drive investments in energy and clean tech across the country,” as previewed in the Climate Competitiveness Strategy unveiled alongside her government’s inaugural budget last month.
