Sources tell CBC's Kate McKenna that the government and Opposition are working behind the scenes on potential deals that could end a parliamentary gridlock and avoid a second federal election in 12 months. Liberal MP and justice committee chair James Maloney tells Power & Politics that the cancellation of one of the committee's meetings is a sign that a 'solution' is coming on legislation that's been stuck there. Plus, Sebastien Lai, son of pro-democracy former Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai, tells Power & Politics China has imprisoned his father's body but hasn't 'imprisoned his spirit,' as Beijing hands down a 20-year sentence to the 78-year-old under China's internationally scrutinized national security law. 🎙️ Behind every headline is a decision-maker.
