PM Carney to deliver remarks at caucus meeting in Ottawa today
Carney will brief Liberal MPs on the fall agenda and his Europe outreach, including legislation to extend the fuel excise tax break, officials said.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney addresses his Liberal caucus in Ottawa today following his return Thursday from Strasbourg, France, where he pursued stronger European alliances.
- Carney's diplomatic mission aims to reduce Canada's reliance on the United States by deepening trade and defence ties. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed Canada become the first 'associate member' of the European Union.
- Bolstering Europe's energy security does not necessarily entail exporting oil or gas across the Atlantic Ocean. Canada has West Coast infrastructure for Asian markets but lacks equivalent eastern facilities, with any new project taking a decade or more.
- The House of Commons fall sitting begins Monday, with legislation enacting the fuel excise tax extension Carney announced on September 2 as the first bill of the session.
- Europe remains in a "precarious situation" as it pivots away from Russian energy imports following Ukraine's 2022 invasion, driving urgency behind the proposed Canada-EU partnership.
