What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
Just over two weeks after his last back-and-forth with his cross-aisle adversaries in the now-shuttered House of Commons, Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to hit the stage at the National Press Theatre in Ottawa, where, according to his office, he’ll “outline the results delivered by Canada’s new government” during the spring sitting before opening the floor to questions from reporters. (11:15 a.m.)
Meanwhile, after spending the last few days on the road in southwestern Ontario, Justice Minister Sean Fraser is heading back to his home province of Nova Scotia’ to continue his post-sitting tour to promote his government’s successful push to tighten Canada’s bail and sentencing laws during a mid-afternoon appearance at the Halifax Ferry Terminal. (1 p.m. AT)
According to his office, Fraser will “highlight” how the new measures will “crack down on retail theft and violence against transit workers” alongside Canadian Urban Transit Association CEO Marco D’Angelo and International Downtown Association Canada chair Paul MacKinnon, as well as local Liberal MP Shannon Miedema.
Back in Ontario, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree will join senior representatives of the Canadian Coast Guard, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canada Border Services Agency, as well as St. Catharines-area Liberal MP Chris Bittle, in Niagara-on-the-Lake to outline “new security provisions” included in the omnibus border security bill adopted earlier this year. (1 p.m.)
Later this afternoon, Women and Gender Equality Minister Rechie Valdez, who also serves as Secretary of State (Small Business and Tourism), will drop by Humber College’s Lakeshore Campus to share the details of what the advisory describes as an “investment in a Canadian-made artificial intelligence application. (3 p.m.)
Rounding out the roster, Defence Minister David McGuinty will host a virtual media availability on his visit to Japan. (8:15 p.m.)
