Good evening to you.
We begin with the Red Chamber where Senators voted on Wednesday to extend their sitting hours beyond this week before they rise for the summer so they can hold final votes on two of the government’s priority bills. Senators will now sit next Monday and Tuesday with extended hours. Earlier this month, Government House leader Pablo Rodriguez presented those bills: the Budget Implementation Act (C-30), the conversion-therapy ban (C-6), the bill to modernize the Broadcasting Act (C-10), and the net-zero-emissions bill (C-12). Janet Silver reports on what to expect in the upper chamber.

Feds to get 'blueprint' for fighting research espionage on Friday


Feds to get ‘blueprint’ for fighting research espionage on Friday

On Friday, the federal government expects to receive guidelines for protecting national security, and for preventing other countries, such as China, from spying on its research projects.
Last year, the federal government spent $7 billion on research and development, according to StatCan. Just over half, $3.6 billion, was for research at universities, colleges, and other educational institutions.
The guidelines to increase the consideration of national security when evaluating and funding research partnerships are being developed by the government’s Universities Working Group, which includes Universities Canada and the U15 Group of Canadian Research Universities. The group also includes federal officials from the likes of the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, CSIS, Global Affairs Canada, the National Research Council, and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada.
