What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
After wrapping up his latest lap of the high-level diplomatic hustings in London yesterday, Prime Minister Mark Carney is officially off the clock for the next few days, courtesy of a European vacation that, as Global News reported last week, will include time in Italy, although he will “remain in close coordination with his team and officials on several priorities,” according to his office.
For his part, after kicking off a two-day stint in Texas with a tour of a Houston oil terminal used by Calgary-based South Bow Energy to “distribute (Alberta oil) far and wide,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre heads to Austin, where, according to his office, he plans to “meet with state officials, energy, agriculture and business leaders (to) advocate for Canadian energy and trade to the benefit of both our countries.”
