Orders of the Day - Former Liberal staffer Adam Carroll heads to Ethics to talk @Vikileaks30

The most likely outcome: No major revelations, but the beginning of what will ultimately become a quiet detente between the government and the opposition over the appropriateness of hauling political staffers before committee in future.   

(Yes, I'll be liveblogging the proceedings, so check back for full coverage.)

Also worth watching on the committee front:

After last week's emergency meeting turned into a two-hour airing of existential meta-gripes, Public Accounts reconvenes this morning for a second attempt at compiling a preliminary witness list for its upcoming review on the auditor general's report on the F-35 procurement process.

Although at press time, today's meeting was scheduled to take place in public, opposition members fear the government will use its majority to force the ensuing discussion behind closed doors, which, frankly, seems like a pretty good bet. If that's the case, we'll have to wait for the minutes to come out to get some idea of which officials will be appearing in the days and weeks ahead.

Over at Justice, Conservative backbench MP Brent Storseth will present his private members' bill to scrap the section of the Canadian Human Rights Act of the section that deals with online hate speech. Also scheduled to testify today: former Canadian Jewish Congress president Mark Freiman, Canadian Bar Association member Mark Toews and Calgary law professor Kathleen Mahoney.

At Canadian Heritage, the committee is back on the 150th anniversary party planning beat, with Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, and representatives from the Canadian Tourism Commission, the John Museum and the New Brunswick Brunswick expected to share their thoughts on the subject.

Later today, the Subcommittee on International Human Rights will hear from the Baha'i Community of Canada as part of its study on human rights in Iran, and Public Safety begins clause-by-clause review of Roxanne James' private members bill on "vexatious complaints" by Corrections Canada inmates.

Meanwhile, back in the Chamber, the government's bid to update the citizens' arrest law returns for report stage consideration, which will likely zip along at a reasonably quick pace, given that all parties have offered their respective and collective support for the bill in principle, although as always, the devil is in the details.

This afternoon, MPs will also vote on the first post-budget ways and means motion, a non-debatable item of business that stands in the name of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney.

Elsewhere on the Hill, the Council of Canadians releases more evidence filed in support of the seven robocall-related election challenges that the organization is coordinating across the country: specifically, a "significant research study" prepared by EKOS pollster Frank Graves that "quantifies both the extent of misdirecting and harassing calls and the effect of those calls in connection with the upcoming legal actions."

Also on the media circuit today:

• New Democrat MPs Helene Laverdiere and Craig Scott hold a press conference with representatives from the Achuar Federation of Peru and Amazon Watch Peru.
• Later this morning, Scott joins an all-party contingent of MPs, including Liberal MP Judy Sgro and Conservative MP Patrick Brown, at an event to share "the views of the Tamil Canadian community," as voiced by the Canadian Tamil Congress. The trio of MPs are also slated to attend a evening screening of "War Crimes Unpunished", a new film that purports to show "shocking new evidence" on the "killing fields" of Sri Lanka.
• An association of medical laboratory scientists "highlight the important role" they play "in the lives of Canada" and "urge support for critical issue affecting the profession."
• The Recreational Vehicle Drivers of Canada calls for "fairness in cross-border importation and safety issues."

Outside the precinct but still within the capital, Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield visits the Chapman Mills Conservation Area, where, alongside Transport parliamentary secretary Pierre Poilievre and representatives from the Ontario Federation of Hunters and Anglers and Ducks Unlimited, he will reveal new measures to "protect the productivity of Canadian fisheries from real threats" (emphasis added).

Given the oddly defensive tone of the advisory, it's likely safe to assume that the government is anticipating criticism over whatever it plans to announce, most likely from conservation and environmental groups.

Meanwhile, in Stratford, Industry Minister Christian Paradis delivers an update on his government's efforts to support "the digital economy."

Finally, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson heads to Etobicoke to unveil new criminal justice legislation, the details of which have not yet been revealed but which likely involves some sort of increased support for victims, given that it is National Victims Week.
