There are some new details about a federal cabinet minister and some potentially questionable behaviour in awarding government contracts. Housing Minister Ahmed Hussen stirred up controversy last year over revelations he awarded a $133,000 grant to a group whose senior consultant made antisemitic comments online. This week, he’s facing questions over $93,000 worth of government contracts given to a food-marketing agency with lackluster qualifications in politics. Mackenzie Gray has more.

Another politician facing criticism tonight – Alberta’s premier. New allegations have surfaced that a member of Danielle Smith's staff tried to influence Crown prosecutors. The allegations came to light in a CBC News report, which claimed someone from Smith’s office sent a series of emails challenging the Crown prosecutors’ assessment of cases stemming from the Coutts border blockade in early 2022. Smith denies any knowledge of emails but as Heather Yourex-West explains, this isn’t the first allegation of political interference around COVID-19 charges involving Alberta’s premier.

The federal government is hoping to capitalize on Canada’s vast geography and space expertise and become a global player in commercial space launches. It has fired up a plan to authorize satellite launches within the next three years. As Eric Sorensen reports, it’s a new frontier that will bring Canada’s work in space full circle.

The prime minister travelled across the country this week visiting electric vehicle plants as part of the Liberals’ push to make Canada a major EV player. The government wants 20 per cent of all new vehicles purchased in Canada to be electric by 2026. But as Touria Izri reports, some urban planners say this transition may not be as green as we think.
