What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
As MPs prepare to wind down the parliamentary work week a day earlier than usual, courtesy of a tweak to the calendar to clear the way for New Democrats to make the trek to Winnipeg for the party’s biennial convention, Prime Minister Mark Carney is off to Nova Scotia, where, according to his official itinerary, he’ll “tour a Royal Canadian Navy vessel” before unveiling “new measures to strengthen the Canadian Armed Forces.” (11:30 a.m. AT)
He’ll also visit an unnamed local “aerospace and defence manufacturing facility” this afternoon (1:35 p.m. AT), and will end the day by headlining a $1,775-per-ticket reception in downtown Halifax alongside two Nova Scotian front benchers, Justice Minister Sean Fraser and Citizenship and Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab.
