hat’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.

With regular parliamentary programming on pause until May 25, two Team Carney front benchers are slated to hit the stage at Web Summit Vancouver as the annual high-level meet-up — which, according to the programme, “gathers the people and companies writing the next chapter of global innovation” — gets underway later today.

First up, according to the advisory: Housing and infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson — who, in addition to representing a Vancouver-area seat, clocked in a decade as the city’s mayor — will join conference co-founder Paddy Cosgrave, as well as B.C. finance minister Brenda Bailey and Vancouver’s current mayor, Ken Sim, at the official kick-off for the four-day event.
