I made a commitment to these families that we were going to do something for them and we've delivered on it. Manitoba Premier Wab Kanu has been meeting with the families of four indigenous women murdered by a serial killer. Human remains were found in a landfill near the city and now are

identified as Morgan Harris, one of the victims. Her family and the other families pushed for years to get the authorities to agree to search for their loved ones. When Premier Wab Kanu was elected last year, he ordered that search. This is what we wanted. This is what we set out to do was to bring home Morgan Harris and Mercedes Myron. We didn't know whether or not we would be able to accomplish. We knew that we were going to try. We can now say that we've been able to deliver on that attempt, and I hope it helps to bring closure and healing. Canoe says he's hoping the identification process on a second set of human remains will be complete in the next couple of weeks.

Toronto police are investigating a mass shooting this weekend. It happened inside a busy Scarborough pub late Friday night, with three men walking in and opening fire. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow shares more details. I can confirm that 12 people have been injured and taken to hospital, including six with serious gunshot wounds. My thoughts are with the victims and their families. Police say the injuries of those six people hit by gunfire are not life-threatening. The search is on for the three male suspects.

Two had handguns, and a third was armed with an assault rifle.

Operations Manager Carly Cox says doctors leaving the U.S. is not a new phenomenon, but it has greatly increased over the last few months. It's important to note that physicians are people too. They ultimately are going to practice where they feel their family and themselves can thrive. So if that's Canada,

fantastic. We welcome you. Recent policy changes have also made it easier for international doctors to obtain a Canadian license. There's an upside to the trade war for some small businesses who are reporting big jumps in sales in recent weeks and they're attributing the change to people making an effort to buy Canadian instead of American. Bianca McEwen reports. Workers at Auto Valley Meats are packing boxes non-stop. Demand has picked up ever since Trump started calling Canada the 51st state. As soon as that famous saying came out, all of a sudden we started getting calls, we started getting emails. People really wanted to make sure what they were buying was Canadian.

Owner Darius Campo says February saw a 30% increase in orders. We're seeing a lot of Canadian come out. People are really proud of the fact that they're buying Canadian. Also packing more orders is Brody O'Connor, co-owner of Balondia Apparel. They've seen a 35% increase in first-time orders and, new to the clothing line, made in Canada printed crewnecks. We were looking for something that people could wear that really sort of spoke to how they feel about what's going on in the world right now. The collection sold out fast. 130 gone in two days.

We figured it would be popular, but we didn't realize it would be quite that popular. Of course, they've relaunched more. Bianca McEwen, CBC News, Ottawa. Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy has composed a musical lament for the strained relations between Canada and the U.S. Oh no, what went wrong? We used to be the singers in a two-part song. in the US. Cuddy's ode references historic events like 9-11, Watergate and the JFK assassination, as well as US cultural icons like Dick Van Dyke and Bruce Springsteen, and expresses hopes the relationship can be repaired.
