Canada's House Is Back In Session

from The Swing

The House is back! This week on The Swing, we examine Canada’s return to Parliament and the political tone-setting that will shape the months ahead. Parliamentary committees are structured groups of MPs drawn from all parties, designed to mirror the composition of the House. Yaroslav, a parliamentary procedural expert, explains how committees work and why they matter. Transport Minister, Chrystia Freeland, resigns from Cabinet to become Ottawa's special envoy to Ukraine. Beyond Canada, we look at Europe’s defense industrial strategies, where protectionism and supply chain diversification intersect. How would Canada integrate into the European defense procurement system? Is Albania going where angels fear to tread? Yes Minister. It is the first country in the world to appoint AI to a ministry. What does it have to do with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or Goethe's The Sufferings of Young Werther? Tune in to find out.
