Orders of the Day - Good news, Quebec maple products industry!
Behold the trio of intrepid footsoldiers patrolling the nation on one of the slowest days of the ministerial circuit we've seen since the House rose for the summer:
- Industry Minister Christian Paradis, who kicks off this week's leg of the Quebec good news-a-thon with a visit to the ACER Centre in
St-Norbert D'Arthabaska, where he will reveal "significant investment"
in the provincial maple products industry.
- Human Resources Minister Diane Finley, who will pay a visit to United Way Ottawa to make an "important announcement."
- And finally, Minister of State for Transport Steven Fletcher, who will take his long-term infrastructure consultation tour to Regina
Meanwhile, there's still no word from the Supreme Court on when the much-anticipated ruling on Etobicoke Centre will be delivered, but I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, for up to the minute dispatches from the precinct and beyond, keep your
eye on the Parliament Hill Ticker below -- or, alternatively, bookmark
it and check back throughout the day.
