What’s on the agenda for the House and Senate committees today.

NATURAL RESOURCES members have set aside an hour to survey representatives of the Canadian Fuels Association, Electro-Federation Canada and Resource Works Society on “electrification, energy self-sufficiency and domestic energy security” before shifting their focus to forestry during a back-and-forth with Canadian Forest Sector Transformation Task Force principal Ken Kalesnikoff and Chantiers Chibougamau vice-president Frédéric Verreault. (11 a.m.)

Over at PROCEDURE AND HOUSE AFFAIRS, MPs will get a progress report on the establishment of the Foreign Influence Transparency Registry from  Sébastien Aubertin-Giguère, a assistant deputy minister at the National and Cyber Security Branch of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. (11 a.m.)

AGRICULTURE AND AGRI-FOOD members hold back-to-back panel discussions with industry representatives, academics and consumer advocates as part of their newly-launched study of “food security in the face of global instability.” (11 a.m.)

(11 a.m.)

Later this afternoon, Parliamentary Budget Officer Annette Ryan and her team will join GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS AND ESTIMATES members to provide an overview of — and take questions on — her newly released reports on the supplementary estimates and the latest economic and fiscal outlook before the committee circles back to its ongoing investigation into the ‘Buy Canadian’ policy with representatives from Blackberry, Unifor and the Quebec Aluminum Industrial Cluster.
