What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
As the opening week of the fall sitting hits the halfway mark, Prime Minister Mark Carney will be back in his front-and-centre seat when the curtain rises on the House of Commons this afternoon, according to his office, setting the stage for a second cross-aisle face-off with his opposition rivals after skipping yesterday’s go-round to meet with visiting Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe.

The third question period of the season may also give MPs their first chance to cross-examine the two front benchers tasked with taking over the files previously handled by their now former cabinet colleague, Chrystia Freeland — who, as reported by iPolitics, served notice yesterday that she would be leaving the ministry to become Canada’s special envoy for the reconstruction of Ukraine — with Canada – US Relations Minister Dominic LeBlanc adding internal trade to his workload, and Government House Leader Steve MacKinnon now responsible for transport.
