A trio of Team Carney front benchers will be hitting the hustings to promote an incoming boost to the Canada Child Benefit that, as per the accompanying flurry of advisories, will provide “more generous support for families,” with the next round of payments on track to increase by up to $160 per child under six, according to the latest bulletin from the Canada Revenue Agency.

Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin is set to “highlight” the expanded benefit during a morning visit to Windsor-based Ready, Set, Go, which provides “birth to six parental support” to local families (12 p.m.).

Women and Gender Equality Minister Rechie Valdez will team up with fellow Toronto-area Liberals Chi Nguyen and Vince Gasparro to raise awareness of the increased payments at Northview Advent Child Care in North York, Ont. (10 a.m.), as will Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister Lena Diab and fellow Halifax-area Liberal MP Shannon Miedema in Halifax. (11 a.m. AT)

A small contingent of parliamentary secretaries — Tom Osborne, Annie Koutrakis and Leslie Church —will deliver the same message during separate appearances at summer camps in St. John’s, Nfld., Laval, Que. and Hamilton, Ont., respectively.

Earlier in the day, Dabrusin will provide a status update on the ongoing push to establish a new urban park in Windsor, Ont., which “supporters (are) hoping represents another major step towards protecting one of Canada’s rarest ecosystems,” CTV News reports. (10 a.m.)

“While officials have not disclosed what will be announced, those who have spent years advocating for the park say they’re encouraged,” the network revealed.

“’I’m hopeful because you don’t have an announcement to announce bad news,’ said Windsor Ward 1 Coun. Fred Francis. ‘I expect to hear good news with respect to land sales and acquisitions and everything. I don’t know exactly what the details are, but I’m hopeful.’”

For his part, former federal New Democrat MP Brian Masse, who “has long championed the project, said he believes Monday’s announcement could represent another significant milestone, particularly if additional lands are added to the proposed park.”

Elsewhere on the ministerial circuit:

• Justice Minister Sean Fraser teams up with Pictou County Warden Robert Parker to promote fresh federal infrastructure funding during an afternoon visit to Salem Presbyterian Church in Green Hill, N.S. (2 p.m. ADT)
• Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson heads to Prince George, B.C. to announce what his office is framing as a “significant milestone for energy infrastructure in British Columbia.” (11:30 a.m. PT)

Also today: Industry Minister Mélanie Joly, Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon, Defence Minister David McGuinty and Secretary of State (Defence Procurement) Stephen Fuhr will be making the rounds at the biennial Farnborough International Airshow in Hampshire, U.K. with all four ministers slated to speak at the the “official opening” of the Canada Pavilion this morning, and Defence Investment Agency CEO Doug Guzman also expected to be in attendance. (10 a.m. BST)

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand aims to “strengthen Indo-Pacific partnerships” during a four-day trek that will start with what her office notes will be the “first visit of a Canadian foreign minister to Pakistan in almost 20 years,” where she’s scheduled to meet with both her Pakistani counterpart, Ishaq Dar, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to “discuss strengthening relations, including bilateral ties and trade and investment.”

As of Monday morning, there was no word from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office on what, if anything, is on his agenda today after he jetted to New Jersey yesterday afternoon to watch the final match of the now-wrapped FIFA World Cup alongside U.S. President Donald Trump, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum and other dignitaries.

Speaking with reporters after the game, Trump once again threatened to impose new tariffs on Canada in response to wildfire smoke.

“American officials have complained about Canadian wildfire smoke blanketing parts of the U.S., and Trump threatened last week to increase tariffs on Canada due to the smoke,” Canadian Press reported last night.

“‘I told them. I mean, you got to stop these fires from coming in and you know poisoning our air. Our air has been poisoned,’ Trump said Sunday at Joint Base Andrews, near Washington, D.C. ‘If we can help them, we’ll help them. But maybe they should pay us some damages or something, or we should do some tariffs.’”

Before heading to the game, Carney posted to X that he had “met with federal workers in Ottawa who are supporting the wildfire response efforts in Northwestern Ontario and across the country” during what he described as “one of the most intense wildfire seasons in Canadian history due to extreme heat waves and record-breaking dry conditions,” and noted that Canada “is mobilising more than 5,000 firefighters and nearly 300 waterbombers, helicopters, and evacuation aircraft to contain, control, and mitigate the fires.”

ON AND AROUND THE HILL

Privacy Commissioner Philippe Dufresne, who also serves as chair of the Global Privacy Assembly, will present this year’s Privacy and Human Rights Award — which, as per the notice, is a “joint initiative” of GPA and Access Now — to the Electronic Health Information Network at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Research Institute, which, along with its founder, Khaled El Emam, “are being recognized for pioneering work in privacy-enhancing technologies that enables health systems, researchers, and artificial intelligence developers to use data while protecting individuals’ privacy, dignity, autonomy and safety.” (10 a.m.)
