PrimeTime Politics Weekend
June 1, 2012
This week, join Martin Stringer and his journalist guests: Susan Lunn, Parliamentary Reporter with CBC Radio, and Mark Kennedy, Parliamentary Bureau Chief for Postmedia News. They’ll discuss: 1. Body Parts Sent to Ottawa: This week we saw the gruesome, horrific incident of human body parts being sent in the mail to Conservative party headquarters in Ottawa, with another package addressed to the Liberal Party of Canada. Montreal police have issued an arrest warrant for murder for a suspect in connection with the matter. What - if anything - should we make of this intersection of a heinous crime with politics?. 2. The Omnibus Budget Implementation Bill The latest developments, as the massive Bill C38 is studied by House and Senate Committees. 3. Mulcair’s Western Tour: NDP leader Thomas Mulcair visited the oil sands and met with Alberta politicians this week. We look at the politics surrounding around his visit. Also, Martin discusses the government's proposed changes to Employment Insurance with Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. And, Martin speaks with a panel of MPs from the different parties about the week’s events in federal politics.
