Proceedings from the House of Commons: Tune in for continuous LIVE access to Parliament's Lower House as MPs discuss and debate legislation and issues of national importance.

Witness all the action in the House of Commons when Canada’s elected officials meet daily to debate the issues. The government and Opposition exchange questions and answers on how the country is being run and what issues are pressing the political agenda.

The strategists panel, Susan Smith, Cole Hogan and George Soule discuss the challenges the government faces in getting First Nations' support for a pipeline to the Pacific coast and debate how realistic the proposal really is. Polls analysts Éric Grenier (The Writ) and Philippe Fournier (338 Canada) discuss what the polls say about support for the Alberta-Ottawa MOU across the country.

Canadians can expect to pay even more for food next year. According to the new report on food prices, the annual grocery bill for a family of four will exceed $17,000 in 2026, nearly $1,000 more than this year. In an interview with Marc-André Cossette, Sylvain Charlebois, lead author of the report and scientific director of Dalhousie University's Agri-Food Analytics Lab, explains that a significant portion of this increase is related to the cost of meat, which has been heavily impacted by climate change. The cabinet reshuffle in Ottawa is already causing a stir in Canadian politics. Joël Lightbound has been appointed Quebec lieutenant by Prime Minister Mark Carney, following the resignation of Steven Guilbeault. What should we take away from this choice? Meanwhile, new minister Marc Miller has sparked controversy with his comments on the decline of French. Will he be able to win over Quebec and Quebecers? Marc-André Cossette explores these questions with Catherine Lévesque, parliamentary correspondent for the National Post, Joël-Denis Bellavance, head of the parliamentary bureau at La Presse, and Christopher Nardi, parliamentary reporter for the National Post. Bill 14, introduced by the Legault government, came into effect last Sunday despite strong opposition from labor unions. It limits the right to strike and allows the government to impose arbitration in certain labor disputes. On Monday, the unions filed their legal challenges with the Superior Court. François Enault, first vice-president of the Confédération des syndicats nationaux, argues that this law is already having a negative impact on workers. The election is already far behind us, but the post-mortem is not entirely over. This fall, the Leaders' Debates Commission published its report on the debates that took place. As we recall, these debates were marred by controversy. Commissioner Michel Cormier appeared before the House Procedure and Affairs Committee, and our reporter Rémi Authier observed the proceedings.
