Liberals won't split internal trade, major projects bill despite Bloc call
The Liberal government is rejecting a call from the Bloc Québécois to split its marquee legislation in two and allow part of it to speed through the House of Commons this summer. The bill — known as Bill C-5, or the free trade and labour mobility in Canada act —was introduced last Friday. It has two parts. The first portion addresses internal trade barriers the Liberals have promised to tackle by July 1. The second part proposes to make sweeping changes to speed up approvals of major projects. The Bloc argued the internal trade portion of the legislation could be passed relatively quickly with broad support from the House of Commons, but called for a separate study of the changes to major project reviews. 'The bill as it is now would be sent to the transport committee, whereas if it were to be split it could be sent to two different committees, the second one being environment,' Bloc deputy leader Christie Normandin said at a press conference on Monday. Story continues below advertisement Government House leader Steven MacKinnon said Wednesday the Liberals won't split the legislation, even if that would ensure the government meets its self-imposed deadline to tackle interprovincial trade barriers. 'This is a bill that responds to economic conditions caused by the tariff war, among other things, and mobilizes premiers, mobilizes Canadians from coast to coast to coast behind projects of national significance,' MacKinnon said on his way into a Liberal caucus meeting. 1:46 Can the Liberal government's trade bill unify Canada's economy? The legislation would give the federal government sweeping new powers to push forward projects that have been deemed to be in the national interest.

Story continues below advertisement The government intends to create a list of such projects and then fast-track the approval system with a goal of issuing approvals within two years, instead of the current five-year timeline. The bill would create a new federal office to take the lead on streamlining approvals and task the intergovernmental affairs minister with overseeing the final permitting decision. It's meant to send a signal to build investor confidence, the government said. The proposed legislation has been criticized already by groups like Greenpeace Canada, and some have warned that there are risks in trying to shortcut environmental interests. 4:58 Carney looking to pass legislation 'before summer' to remove trade barriers in Canada The minority Liberal government needs the support of at least four MPs from another party to pass the bill. It does not have a formal or informal agreement with any opposition party to pass legislation, as was the case with the NDP in the last Parliament. Story continues below advertisement Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has said his party will support legislation that gets new projects built — but he also said he wants the current bill amended to go even further. On Friday, Poilievre said he wanted to meet with his caucus before saying whether Conservative MPs will vote in favour of the legislation. After Wednesday's caucus meeting, his office said there was no update to provide. Prime Minister Mark Carney suggested last week he would consider extending the House sitting into July to get the legislation passed. The House of Commons is scheduled to take a summer break beginning June 21. MacKinnon said Wednesday that he has not tried to get consensus from the other parties to extend the sitting.

Sir John A. Macdonald statue outside Ontario legislature freed after being in a box for five years
TORONTO — The Sir John A. Macdonald statue outside the Ontario legislature is back in full view after spending the past five years in a box. The statue of Canada's first prime minister has been under hoarding since 2020, when it was vandalized with pink paint. The monument was one of many that were targeted across the country amid anti-racism protests and as Canadians grappled with the history of residential schools. Macdonald is considered an architect of the country's notorious residential school system, which took Indigenous children from their families in an effort to assimilate them.

U.S. reducing diplomatic, military presence in Middle East as tensions rise
The United States is drawing down the presence of staffers who are not deemed essential to operations in the Middle East and their loved ones due to the potential for regional unrest, the State Department and military said Wednesday. The State Department said it has ordered the departure of all nonessential personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad based on its latest review and a commitment 'to keeping Americans safe, both at home and abroad.' The embassy already had been on limited staffing, and the order will not affect a large number of personnel. The department, however, also is authorizing the departure of nonessential personnel and family members from Bahrain and Kuwait. That gives them the option of leaving those countries at government expense and with government assistance. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth 'has authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents from locations' across the region, U.S. Central Command said in a statement. The command 'is monitoring the developing tension in the Middle East.' Story continues below advertisement White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly confirmed the moves. 'The State Department regularly reviews American personnel abroad, and this decision was made as a result of a recent review,' Kelly said. Global News has asked Global Affairs Canada if it is conducting a similar drawdown of Canadian diplomatic staff in the region. The top U.S. military officer for the Middle East, Gen. Erik Kurilla, was scheduled to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday, but that testimony has now been postponed, according to the committee's website. The Pentagon did not have an immediate comment on why Kurilla's testimony was postponed. Tensions in the region have been rising in recent days as talks between the U.S. and Iran over its rapidly advancing nuclear program appear to have hit an impasse. The talks seek to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of some of the crushing economic sanctions that the U.S. has imposed on the Islamic Republic. Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful. 0:42 Trump's travel ban on 12 countries takes effect The next round of talks — the sixth — had been tentatively scheduled for this weekend in Oman, according to two U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss diplomatic matters. However, those officials said Wednesday that it looked increasingly unlikely that the talks would happen. Story continues below advertisement President Donald Trump, who has previously said Israel or the U.S. could carry out airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear facilities if negotiations failed, gave a less-than-optimistic view about reaching a deal with Iran, telling the New York Post's 'Pod Force One' podcast that he was 'getting more and more less confident about' a deal.

I'm less confident now than I would have been a couple of months ago. Something happened to them,' he said in the interview recorded Monday and released Wednesday. Iran's mission to the U.N. posted on social media that 'threats of overwhelming force won't change the facts.' 'Iran is not seeking a nuclear weapon, and U.S. militarism only fuels instability,' the Iranian mission wrote. Iranian Defense Minister Gen. Aziz Nasirzadeh separately told journalists Wednesday that he hoped talks with the U.S. would yield results, though Tehran stood ready to respond. 'If conflict is imposed on us, the opponent's casualties will certainly be more than ours, and in that case, America must leave the region, because all its bases are within our reach,' he said. 'We have access to them, and we will target all of them in the host countries without hesitation.' 3:20 Iran warns no nuclear deal if US insists on ending uranium enrichment Meanwhile, the Board of Governors at the International Atomic Energy Agency was potentially set to vote on a measure to censure Iran. That could set in motion an effort to snap back United Nations sanctions on Iran via a measure in Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers that's still active until October. Trump withdrew from that agreement in his first term. Story continues below advertisement Earlier Wednesday, a statement from the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center, a Mideast-based effort overseen by the British navy, issued a warning to ships in the region that it 'has been made aware of increased tensions within the region which could lead to an escalation of military activity having a direct impact on mariners.' It urged caution in the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman and the Strait of Hormuz. It did not name Iran, though those waterways have seen Iranian ship seizures and attacks in the past. Meanwhile, Iraq's state-run Iraqi News Agency said in a statement attributed to an unnamed government official that the evacuation of some nonessential employees from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad was part of 'procedures related to the U.S. diplomatic presence in a number of Middle Eastern countries, not just Iraq' and that Iraqi officials 'have not recorded any security indicators that warrant an evacuation.' 'We reiterate that all security indicators and briefings support the escalating assessments of stability and the restoration of internal security,' the statement said. Gambrell reported from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. AP writers Farnoush Amiri at the United Nations, Aamer Madhani in Washington and Qassim Abdul-Zahra in Baghdad contributed to this report.
