What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
As flagged in What We’re Watching, all regularly scheduled parliamentary business is on pause until Wednesday due to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, which is observed annually on September 30, and was formally designated as a federal statutory holiday in 2023.
According to his office, Prime Minister Mark Carney — who, as Canadian Press reports, spent the weekend making the rounds in London, where, in addition to meeting with his Unoted Kingdom, Australian, Icelandic and Spanish counterparts, he was part of the crowd cheering on Team Canada during what would turn out to be an unsuccessful bid to beat the “top-seeded English team” at the Women’s Rugby World Cup final on Saturday — has no public events on his calendar today, but is expected to take part in the national commemoration ceremony on Parliament Hill tomorrow.
