Liberals and New Democrats have tentatively agreed to a governing arrangement that would keep the Liberals in power until 2025, the CBC's Vassy Kapelos reported Monday night, as the parties' caucuses were being asked to approve the setup. The NDP will not get any cabinet seats. The so-called confidence-and-supply agreement still needs the support of NDP MPs who are meeting late Monday night, according to multiple sources who spoke to CBC News on condition they not be named due to the sensitive nature of the discussions. The agreement would see the NDP back the Liberals in confidence votes. In return, the Liberals will follow through on some elements of national pharmacare and dental care programs â programs that have long been promoted by the NDP. The Globe also has a story. The sources said the agreement-in-principle would require NDP support on key confidence matters, including budgets, in exchange for increased parliamentary collaboration as action on major NDP policy issues such as dental care. The government is also expected to forge ahead with NDP-supported plans to impose a special tax on Canadian banks and financial institutions. Candice Bergen is opposed. Pierre Poilievre is even more opposed. Your correspondent first reported that the two parties were considering such an arrangement in Maclean's in October. 20,000? The UCP is scrambling to figure out how to handle the April 9 leadership review vote for Jason Kenny, Don Braid writes in the Calgary Herald, because so many people want to have their say. Cynthia Moore, president of the UCP, says board members will decide on extra voting venues outside the Cambridge Hotel in Red Deer, the main site for this crazily inflated special general meeting. The numbers are astounding â 13,718 people had registered to vote by midnight Saturday. As many as 20,000 are expected to be eligible by voting day. Spies secretive: Intelligence agencies have held back information from the House of Commons and Senate committee that reviews the countryâs intelligence apparatus, Global reports. Recently published documents say intelligence agencies âhave delayed the provision of information or did not provide requested material relevantâ to their reviews. âShould this continue, the ability of the committee to fulfill its statutory mandate will be compromised.â King still in: Accused convoy organizer Pat King complained Monday heâs had little contact with his prospective legal team as he made a brief court appearance Monday. King has been held at the Innes Road jail since he was taken into custody during the mass arrests on Feb. 18. Off the rails: Canada's reputation as a reliable trading partner suffered another black eye Monday as Americans awoke to a new kink in the bilateral supply chain: a labour dispute at CP Rail that left more than 3,000 employees off the job for a second straight day, CP reports. By dint of sheer coincidence, a host of Canadian elected officials and business leaders, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford, happened to be in the U.S. capital on a variety of missions, one of them being the ongoing effort to shore up the Canada-U.S. trade relationship. For Flavio Volpe, the outspoken head of the Auto Parts Manufacturers' Association, the goal had been to mitigate the damage Canada's reputation as a reliable supplier suffered during last month's weeklong blockade of the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ont. "Tough timing," Volpe tweeted ruefully about the dispute, which he said he heard about on two separate occasions within an hour of landing in D.C. "We need to resolve this ASAP." Politicians debated the work stoppage in the House, but did not discuss back-to-work legislation, CBC reports. Sorry: Air Canadaâs CEO apologized to a parliamentary committee in his first comments since his poor grasp of French raised a huge outcry last fall, CP reports. NRC attacked: The National Research Council says its computer network has been attacked, the Globe reports. The NRC revealed the incursion the same day the White House warned companies to strengthen protections around their computer systems, citing âevolving intelligenceâ that the Russian government is exploring options for cyberattacks. Earlier this year, Canadaâs cybersecurity agency, the Communications Security Establishment, warned of the risk of attacks from Moscow-affiliated hackers. On the road: Would-be CPC Leader Pierre Poilievre had a successful tour of Quebec, according to Radio Canada. âStephen Maher |
