Ministers speak briefly with reporters on Parliament Hill before the federal cabinet holds its weekly meeting.

Mark Holland (health), Karina Gould (government House leader), Randy Boissonnault (employment) and Steven Guilbeault (environment) face questions on the Bloc Québécois’ demand of increasing benefits to seniors as one of its two preconditions for supporting the minority Liberal government.

Bill Blair (defence), Ahmed Hussen (international development), Jean-Yves Duclos (public services) and Marc Miller (immigration) comment on the federal government’s response to the escalating conflict in Lebanon.

Blair also comments on Iran’s missile attacks against Israel and fears of a widening conflict in the Middle East.

Duclos and Miller also respond to questions on the Quebec government’s approach to the influx of asylum seekers to the province.

Guilbeault comments as well on Quebec Environment Minister Benoit Charette’s visit to Ottawa and on the federal government’s potential emergency decree to protect boreal caribou in the province
