After a flurry of amendments and a series of Friday evening
votes, Prime Minister Mark Carney has passed his One Canadian
Economy Act through the House of Commons. The bill accelerates
approvals for projects deemed in Canada’s national interest, but
not everyone is pleased with the Liberals fast-tracking the
legislation. Trevor Mercredi, Grand Chief of Treaty 8 First
Nations of Alberta joins The House to explain why some First
Nations are concerned about the government’s need for speed.
Plus, Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon argues for why
Ottawa needs to move fast.

Then, Toronto Star Ottawa bureau chief Tonda MacCharles and La
Presse Ottawa bureau chief Joel-Denis Bellavance discuss whether
Carney is right to rush his major projects bill through
Parliament — and how long the Liberal-Conservative alliance on
the legislation can last.

Finally, As Prime Minister Mark Carney gets set to meet NATO
leaders next week, Catherine Cullen talks to former Assistant
Secretary General for Defence Investment at NATO Wendy Gilmour
and former Canadian Military Representative to NATO, retired
Vice-Admiral Bob Davidson, for insight into how the alliance will
seek to find unity in an age of war and U.S. President Donald
Trump.
