Looming over the Liberals is whether Prime Minister Mark Carney’s
first budget will pass its final vote on Monday in the House of
Commons. So far, no other political party has given a sign they
will support it.

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May discusses whether she’ll change
her mind and vote with the Liberals on the budget. Christopher
Nardi of the National Post and Tonda MacCharles of the Toronto
Star weigh in on where the government can get the last two votes
it needs or if we’re heading into another election this
year.

Mark Carney announced more major projects to spur Canada’s
economic growth. Rick Smith of the Canadian Climate Institute
tells The House how Canada’s push to expand mining and energy
projects is going down at the United Nations climate change
conference in Brazil.

Plus, as Canada loses its measles elimination status Dr. Natasha
Crowcroft, Vice President of the Infectious Diseases and
Vaccination Programs Branch at the Public Health Agency of Canada
explains what needs to be done to win it back.

And: J.D.M. Stewart, author of The Prime Ministers: Canada’s
Leaders and the Nation they Shaped, takes Catherine Cullen on a
tour of the monuments erected on Parliament Hill to commemorate
Canada’s leaders. Who were they, what were their funny foibles,
and will Canada ever see a statue of Stephen Harper or Justin
Trudeau?
