Champagne, Joly make the rounds in Quebec


What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.

Amid an uptick in unofficial updates on the latest round of tariff negotiations — and, more specifically, what Canada is reportedly prepared to offer as part of a last-minute push to circumvent U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a new 50 per cent levy on a wide range of Canadian exports — two senior Team Carney ministers will be making the rounds in their home province of Quebec, where, it’s worth noting, unconfirmed reports that Ottawa could make changes to the supply management system for dairy products have already been met with near-universal opposition.

First up: Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne, who is set to join Atikamekw Nation Grand Chief Constant Awashish and La Tuque mayor Pierre Pacarar  to share the details of new federal support for local housing during a mid-afternoon media availability at the local Service Canada hub in Champagne’s home riding of Saint-Maurice — Champlain.  (1:30 p.m.)

Later this afternoon, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly will highlight new federal funding to “support the growth of an innovative Îles-de-la-Madeleine business.” (2:30 p.m. ADT)

Meanwhile, Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin teams up with Federation of Canadian Municipalities CEO Carol Saab, as well as FCM president Tim Tierney, municipal representatives and local Liberal MP Shannon Miedema for a morning reveal at the Halifax Central Library, where, according to her office, she’ll announce a fresh tranche of federal support for “climate resilience projects” that will “protect communities from severe weather.” (9 a.m. ADT)

Rounding out the roster, Secretary of State (Labour) John Zerucelli will start his day by delivering “additional funding” to Calgary-based Educational Partnership Foundation to “expand its trades and career programming.” (9:20 a.m. MDT)

Back in the precinct, FINANCE committee members are scheduled to hold a closed-door session to go through the draft report on what they heard during the opening round of pre-budget consultations. (10 a.m.)

IN THE CHAMBER

Both the House of Commons and the Senate have shut down for the summer, with regular parliamentary proceedings set to resume in September.
