MPs spent the past week away from Ottawa. Are they now ready to get back to work and forget about a fall election? Kathleen asks three Members of Parliament what Canadians can expect: Results or more partisan bickering.
Speaking of partisan differences. The Conservatives boast that their stimulus plan is giving the economy a much needed shot in the arm and creating jobs. The Liberals say not so fast, the money isn't flowing yet. Which is it? Our Parliamentary reporter Louise Elliott cuts through the spin and brings you a reality check.
The Boss is in The House. CBC/Radio-Canada president Hubert Lacroix has joined other traditional television broadcasters in the fight against cable and satellite providers. Broadcasters want to get paid for their over the air signals. Cable providers claim it's unreasonable to ask consumers to pay more.
And our series "The House Goes Local" discovers that cities need a plan that goes beyond oil and the automobile. Stuart Ramsey is an urban planner for the city of Burnaby, B-C. Outside of work he imagines cities that aren't built with only the car in mind. If you are interested in reading some of his writings and presentations, go to his website at www.TransportPlanet.ca
