March 12, 2026
What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
A day after accompanying Nunavut’s newly minted Liberal MP Lori Idlout to her first caucus meeting, Prime Minister Mark Carney will reveal what his office is billing as a “new plan to defend and transform Canada’s Northern and Arctic region” during a whirlwind one-day visit to Yellowknife. (2:30 p.m.)
As per his itinerary, Carney is also booked in for a tête-à-tête with Northwest Territories Premier R.J. Simpson and a visit to “local infrastructure” before it’s wheels up for Norway, where he’s set to spend the next few days in high-level meetings with Canada’s “Nordic partners.”
