Prime Minister Mark Carney and ministers speak briefly with reporters on Parliament Hill before the federal cabinet holds its weekly meeting. The prime minister discusses the call he had with U.S. President Donald Trump and counters claims from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that he “aggressively” took back parts of the speech he made last week to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Minister Mélanie Joly (industry) speaks about meetings she is set to have with a delegation from South Korea as part of a pitch to build new submarines for Canada.

Joly and Maninder Sidhu (international trade) are also asked about the U.S. Treasury Secretary’s comments.

Steven MacKinnon (government House leader) is questioned about working the opposition Conservatives to pass legislation in this sitting of Parliament. He also comments on the Conservative party’s proposed legislation related to Canada’s economic sovereignty.

Gary Anandasangaree (public safety) is asked about the selection of the country’s first foreign interference commissioner. He also takes questions on the federal gun buyback program

Joanne Thompson (fisheries) comments on the government’s conditional approval for Marineland to ship 30 captive belugas and four dolphins to institutions in the United States.

Sean Fraser (justice), Patty Hajdu (jobs and families) and Adam van Koeverden (secretary of state for sports) face questions on the government’s hate crimes bill, support for workers affected by tariffs, and Canadian TV program “Heated Rivalry.”
