Episode Details

Liberal Leader Mark Carney unveils his party’s plan for crime and public safety. The plan contains a series of measures that includes a continuation of the gun buyback program for assault-style weapons, a pledge to recruit 1,000 additional RCMP officers and train 1,000 new CBSA agents, as well as a commitment to tougher bail rules and sentencing guidelines for violent crime and car theft.   Carney is joined by Liberal candidates Nathalie Provost (Châteauguay–Les Jardins-de-Napierville, Que) and Bill Blair (Scarborough Southwest, Ont.).
The Liberal leader faces questions from reporters on the federal response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s global trade war. Carney is also asked about reporting from the Globe and Mail that alleges that Peter Yuen, the Liberal candidate chosen to replace Paul Chiang in Markham-Unionville, has links to pro-Beijing groups.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announces that if his party forms government, he would reduce housing costs by incentivizing municipalities to cut home-building taxes. He also accuses Liberal Leader Mark Carney of failing to secure tariff relief for Canada, even as the U.S. offered a 90-day pause for other countries.
