Carney will not take up Trudeau's question period tradition
Prime Minister Mark Carney smiles as he rises for the first time in the House of Commons following the election of the Speaker on Monday, May 26, 2025 in Ottawa. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney will take part in his first question period on Wednesday — but will not carry on a tradition started by his predecessor. Former prime minister Justin Trudeau made it his practice to answer all questions in the House of Commons on Wednesdays, a gesture meant to improve accountability within the chamber. A source in the Prime Minister's Office confirms Carney will not carry on the same practice. Trudeau said in 2017 that he thought it was important for all MPs to be able to ask questions of the prime minister, not just party leaders. There was some debate at the time among other parties about whether the move would allow Trudeau to dodge questions on other days of the week. Wednesday will see the first question period of the spring legislative session, following the election of House Speaker Francis Scarpaleggia on Monday and King Charles reading the speech from the throne on Tuesday.

Why is NATO coming to Dayton?
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — This week, international delegates will visit Dayton — but why exactly was the Gem City picked for NATO's Spring Session? The NATO Parliamentary Assembly was created in 1955 to serve as a link between the 32 member nations of NATO, which stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Delegates meet in different locations throughout the world to conduct their work a few times each year. The last time America hosted was in Florida in 2003. So why is NATO coming to Dayton, of all places? 30 years ago, the Dayton Peace Accords were signed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which effectively ended the Bosnian War. To commemorate the 30th anniversary, Dayton was chosen to host the NATO Spring Session. This milestone anniversary is expected to be celebrated throughout the week. NATO delegates will be in town for the summit from May 22-26. Click here to learn more about how the NATO summit will affect downtown drivers and pedestrians. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
