Amid a steady uptick in reports of violent attacks and attempted intimidation targeting Jewish community members and institutions, Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to go public with what his office is billing as the “next steps in the government’s effort to combat antisemitism and hate in Canada” during an afternoon appearance in Toronto. (5 p.m.)

Carney’s remarks, which will be delivered at an undisclosed venue,  “will come less than a month after Toronto police responded to a call about three ‘visibly’ Jewish community members being shot at with an imitation firearm,” the Toronto Star notes.

“Jewish advocacy group B’nai Brith says anti-Jewish hatred is being normalized in Canada and that antisemitic incidents topped 6,800 in 2025 — the highest number it’s recorded since 1982,” the story notes.

“Noah Shack with the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs says events in the Middle East have fuelled hatred and violence against Jewish Canadians, and that Ottawa must do more to strengthen community security and combat hate.”

Before leaving the National Capital Region, Carney will “tour a homebuilding site” in Nepean. (2 p.m.)

Back in the precinct — and as flagged in What We’re Watching — the Liberals have served notice that they’re prepared to use their newly-secured majority to force a vote on Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne’s 346-page pitch to roll out additional measures announced in his inaugural budget last fall, which, depending on today’s back-and-forth plays out, could take place as early as tomorrow.

Shortly after debate on the bill got underway last week, the Conservatives put forward an amendment that, if adopted, would have the House of Commons “decline to give second reading” to the bill, as it “fails to address meaningfully the cost of living crisis which Canadians are facing through measures such as complete fuel tax relief, removing taxes and red tape which drive up housing costs, cutting the industrial carbon tax imposed on farmers and everyone else in the country’s food chain, and eliminating wasteful government spending, all of which have driven up inflation including food price inflation.”

As per standard parliamentary protocols, if the government succeeds in imposing a time limit on the debate, it would also apply to the amendment, which would be put to a vote along with the original motion.

Also on deck: A vote on a non-binding Conservative-initiated motion that, if adopted, would urge the government “reject” the recent move by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to increase the percentage of revenue that online streamers must contribute to Canadian content from five to 15 per cent, which, according to the Liberals, is simply not within the authority of cabinet, which is only permitted to overturn decisions related to licencing.

Outside the chamber, FINANCE committee members are set to kick off what will likely be a lighting-round review of legislation that accompanied Champagne’s inaugural spring fiscal update with an extended evening session that will include appearances no fewer than three of his cabinet colleagues — Health Minister Marjorie Michel, Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald and Jobs and Families Minister Patty Hajdu — as well as senior officials from their respective departments, before holding a roundtable discussion with representatives of the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence, Canadian Council on Rehabilitation and Work, Community Living Toronto and March of Dimes Canada. (3:30 p.m.)

Elsewhere on the committee circuit: Members of the Senate HUMAN RIGHTS committee begin going through the fine print of Justice Minister Sean Fraser’s plan to expand and extend Canada’s hate crime laws, which is on track to start clause-by-clause review this afternoon. (4 p.m.)

ON AND AROUND THE HILL

The Canadian Association of Former Parliamentarians will host their annual memorial service, which takes place in the Senate chamber and honours MPs and senators who have passed away over the previous year, with Marc Garneau, John McCallum, Ken Dryden, Kirsty Duncan, Gail Shea and Jake Epp among the parliamentarians whose “contributions and public service” will be recognized this year, according to the programme. (9 a.m.)

Mining Association of British Columbia CEO Michael Goehring teams up with B.C. New Democrat mining minister Jagrup Brar to highlight what the advisory describes as the “importance of strengthened federal–provincial alignment to accelerate responsible resource development, secure supply chains, and unlock significant economic opportunity for British Columbia and Canada” before heading into closed-door meetings with unnamed “federal government representatives.” (10 a.m.)

IN THE CHAMBER

Before MPs turn their attention back to Champagne’s budget bill, Conservative MP Kelly DeRidder will get one more chance to convince a critical mass of her Commons colleagues to support her backbench proposal to give the court the power to order an offender to take additional measures while serving their sentence, including participating in training or apprenticeship programs, before MPs vote on whether to send it to committee for further review on Wednesday. (11 a.m.)

OUTSIDE THE PRECINCT

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand will start her week by addressing Canadian ambassadors, consuls general, high commissioners and other high-level diplomatic representatives at the yearly Global Heads of Mission Meeting in Ottawa. (9:30 a.m.)

Secretary of State (Sport) Adam van Koeverden — who, as the advisory notes, also serves as “Canada’s FIFA Sherpa” — makes the rounds in Edmonton, Alta., where he’s booked in for a midday event to unveil fresh federal funding for “Indigenous-led sports initiatives across Canada” (12 p.m. MDT) before heading to the city’s stadium to cheer on Canada’s Men’s National Team in a pre-World Cup friendly match with Uzbekistan.
