The federal party leaders are off and running for another day of campaigning. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is in Hamilton, Ontario, rolling out his party's plan to trim taxes. For the first $19,500 that someone earns, no tax on that. We want to take the GST permanently off of your monthly bills that are essential, so that would be your internet, your cell phone, your home heating, and take it off of daily necessities like grab-and-go groceries. A GST promise includes lifting the tax from diapers and other baby related products like strollers. Incidentally, Green Party co-leader Jonathan Pedno is also rolling out a tax reform proposal today. He is in Montreal.

As for Liberal leader Mark Carney, he's in Windsor, Ontario, promising to establish a supply chain fund for the country's manufacturing sector. This is a $2 billion fund that will protect the jobs of workers affected by President Trump's tariffs. But it will do much more than that. It will fortify the entire Canadian auto supply chain, from raw materials to finished vehicles. Conservative leader Pierre Polyev is flying to Quebec City today with a new campaign announcement aimed at Canadian seniors. He's promising to keep the retirement age at 65 and to expand the tax boundaries for working seniors. Winnipeg police have an update scheduled today on their investigation into the murder of

an unidentified indigenous woman killed three years ago by a serial killer. Samson has more. We're not going to leave anybody behind. Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs' Grand Chief Kyra Wilson isn't giving up until every woman is found. Her community of Long Plain First Nation has been mourning the loss of two women murdered by a serial killer in 2022, Morgan Harris and Mercedes Myron. Another woman, Rebecca Contois, was murdered by the same man. Her remains were found that year. But those of Harris and Myron were just recovered in a landfill near Winnipeg this month. A fourth woman has yet to

be found. The community gave her a name. Moshkade Bishake Ikwe Iban or Buffalo Woman. The landfill search was heavily debated. Police and the province said it wasn't safe nor feasible. But under new provincial leadership, the search started last December. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew. It's the right thing that we were able to return these women to their families so they can be memorialized in a proper way. The hope is today more information could lead to answers for an unknown family.

Sam Sampson, CBC News, Winnipeg. We've now learned that Winnipeg police will be confirming Buffalo Woman's identity later today. Just one day after the United States announced separate ceasefire understandings with Russia and Ukraine, the drone strikes from both sides continue. Anna Cunningham has more. From the Kremlin, accusations that Kiev tried to attack civilian Russian energy infrastructure, a gas storage facility in Russian-occupied Crimea,

and other sites in Russia's Kursk and Bryansk regions. Kiev says Russia fired more than 100 drones on Ukraine overnight. In Riyadh, Ukraine's defence minister Rustam Amarov held out hope. We are ready to organize a separate meeting on technical level as well to start working on mechanisms of implementation. But what the US announcement missed out was the fine print, the Kremlin's extra demand. Moscow says a naval ceasefire will only come into force after a number of sanctions against its food and fertilizer trade are lifted. And that is not something Kyiv supports, says Ukraine's Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Betsa.

We can already see Russia attempting to manipulate and condition agreement. Ukraine is pushing for further sanctions on Russia. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London. A Brazil Supreme Court panel opens proceedings today to determine whether former President Jair Bolsonaro will stand trial on allegations he attempted to stage a coup d'état. The allegations against the far-right leader date back to the weeks following his loss of the 2022 election. Bolsonaro was charged formally last month along with 33 associates. And that is The World This Hour.
