Birth global national with Donna Fen reporting tonight Jackson frco good evening and thanks for joining us major reforms could be coming to the Canadian military’s justice system the federal government has proposed long- awaited legislation that will strip the can Canadian Armed Forces of its ability to investigate and prosecute sexual

Offenses on home soil those cases would instead be handled by civilian courts something Advocates and survivors have called for as Abigail Bean reports the Chang has come after years of recommendations and extensive investigative reporting by global news it’s change Advocates call years in the making it gives more agency to the

Survivor um because they no longer have to go through their commanding officer that’s the the biggest reform for survivors of military sexual misconduct if the new legislation becomes law they can go right to police with a complaint rather than through their chain of command it was a key recommendation and

One of many from separate reports by two former Supreme Court Justices this is the right thing to do for the men and women who serve in the Canadian Armed Forces um we’ve heard very clearly from from victims and survivors once the legislation is passed there will be no

Fight over jurisdiction because it would be entrenched so it’s a good step in the right direction beginning in 2021 Global News has reported extensively on allegations of sexual misconduct against senior military members the government promised culture change and has been criticized for being slow to act cultural change is critically important

We’re absolutely committed to it but I also recognize it’s a process not an event but Thursday’s announcements still leave some issues unaddressed it only applies to alleged offenses in Canada with hundreds of Canadian Armed Forces members serving abroad and it’s also no secret our civilian justice system is

Strained and there’s no promise of new resources beyond the minister saying he’s working with provincial counterparts it does seem like a major Gap and and I will be pushing on the government to to look at that as well the minister says the new legislation tackles nine of the recommendations from

The former Supreme Court Justices but after several years he acknowledges there’s still much more work to do with 119 of the 20 and six recommendations expected to be completed by the end of this year Jackson Abigail Bean in Ottawa thanks conservative party leader Pierre POV ramped up his campaign to try and

Pause a scheduled hike of the federal carbon tax on April 1st after running petitions and attempting to force an emergency debate in the House of Commons today he urged MPS to back his motion to topple the liberal government over the planned increase our chief political correspondent David Aken watched the debate play out

David well Jackson the conservatives simply did not have the numbers to bring down the government I declare the motion defeated the minority Trudeau government won the day with the support of bla and NDP MPS the Tories would surely have known they would lose but for them the

Point of the exercise was to force the debate we as common sense conservatives are ready to restore hope in this country but it starts with change We rise today to vote non-confidence in this NDP liberal government and while the House of Commons spent the day debating that confidence motion

Conservatives on The house’s transport committee were trying to make more political hay at the expense of environment Minister Steven Gilbo Gilbo had been quoted in February saying the federal government would no longer invest in New Roads he subsequently corrected himself to say he meant there would be no federal money for a car

Tunnel in Quebec but his political opponents were not going to let him off that easy so this seems to be a war on cars this has been the plan all along and so what what M Minister gbo did was was just say the quiet part are loud my comments were specifically related to

The project in Quebec Gilbo is a favorite Target of conservatives because he is the chief evangelist for the carbon tax so if you don’t understand how the carbon tax affects road infrastructure I can’t help you but I have a question for you is there anything that you would do to walk back

You personally would you walk back in any case the 23% carbon tax increase in April gabo would only defend the carbon tax in French noting that yes while the carbon tax does go up April 1st so does the rebate paid to most Canadians in getting Canada to net zero emissions but the

Institute said industrial carbon pricing systems on large emitters that’s what’s in place in Alberta will make the single biggest cont contribution to cutting emissions Jackson thanks David for the first time Canada is setting targets for the number of temporary resident arrivals the immigration Minister says in 2023 Canada was home to about 2.5

Million temporary residents roughly 6% of the population the federal government wants to reduce that to 5% by 2027 the reduction includes temporary foreign workers but won’t apply to the construction or Health Care sectors it was back to business for the liberal government of Newland and Labrador today releasing the provincial budget a day

Um so his hip bone is completely smashed in half don’t be baited into doing something with the line held outside government politicians went ahead with the budget inside but one side of the house remained empty after opposition politicians refused to enter the building citing solidarity with fish Harvesters the premier and his been

Minister of Fisheries LED people to to conclude that they they hurt us and they’re actually going to do something and we find out that nothing was done the province has repeatedly said it is working on fish Harvesters concerns but with the affordability crisis felt here as much as anywhere many feel the

Financial future is Bleak this fishery has changed dramatically in the last 30 years and there’s massive Debs now that’s being incurred especially by those young Harvesters starting out get this hammered out get it done we’re going home the question is whether that will happen now Heidi pachic Global News
