What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
In the wake of yesterday’s tragic school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., Prime Minister Mark Carney has suspended his planned visit to Halifax, where, as Canadian Press reports, he “was scheduled (to) announce the long-awaited defence industrial strategy, before flying to Munich, where he was to spend the rest of the week at the Munich Security Conference,” with his travel plans now on hold “for the time being,” according to his office.
In a statement posted to X yesterday evening, Carney said he was “devastated” by the attack, which left 10 people dead, including the shooter, according to local authorities.
