What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
After clocking in just over a week on the international diplomatic circuit, Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to spend the next two days ensconced in a pre-sitting huddle with his front bench team at what his office is billing as a “cabinet planning forum” slated to get underway in Quebec City later this afternoon. (3 p.m.)
As per the advisory, the meeting “will focus on the government’s core mission to build a stronger, more sustainable, and more independent Canadian economy that benefits everyone,” and will “determine priorities for delivering change in the year ahead,” including “the next steps in the government’s plan to bring down everyday costs and make life more affordable for Canadians.”
