The NDP lose their first vote as the BC Liberals possibly set a new precedent for how speakers will break ties in the Legislature. The party’s financial situations paint a rosy picture for the NDP, however, and a bleak one for the Liberals.
On the SNC scandal, Jody Wilson-Raybould releases a recorded conversation, which gets her and Jane Philpott kicked out of the Liberal caucus. Is there any more damage Trudeau can do to the Liberal brand before the election?
And in quicktakes, we follow up on the #RightToBareArms and the federal NDP pharmacare plan.
