Hey, it's me, Michael Buble. You hear that? That's the sound of the Junos, the biggest party in Canadian music. I'll be there hosting. Sum 41 will be rocking out on stage for the last time, plus a whole lineup of amazing performances. And guess what?

You're all invited. All bring the tux, you bring the snacks. Let's make it a night to remember. Don't miss the Junos, live from Vancouver, March 30th at 8 Eastern on CBC and CBC Jam. From CBC News, the world is our. I'm Tom Harrington. The White House says Donald Trump will announce his tariffs on auto imports later this afternoon. The move

could have grave implications for Canada's auto sector and the economy as a whole. Liberal leader Mark Carney is promising support for auto workers who could suffer the effects of Trump's trade action. Tom Perry has more on the Liberal proposal. Canada will be there for our auto workers. With the Ambassador Bridge as a backdrop, one of the main crossing points for goods into and out of the U.S., Mark Carney pledged a re-elected liberal government would protect Canada's auto sector from Trump tariffs. They're a little volatile. They're a little up and down, a little bit on and off,

hot and cold with respect to the relationship. Carney is promising a $2 billion fund to support auto workers affected by U.S. tariffs. He says he'll work with industry to manufacture more auto parts from start to finish in Canada so they're not hit with tariffs every time they cross the border. Carney says his government would make it a priority to buy Canadian-made vehicles for federal agencies

to try to protect Canadian jobs while making it easier to collect EI in the event of layoffs. Tom Perry, CBC News, Windsor. Tax cuts for low-income earners are another major topic on the campaign trail today. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh unveiled proposed tax cuts, he says, will help Canadians struggling with the cost of living. For the first $19,500 that someone earns, no tax on that. We want to make sure zero, zero 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 like grabbing your groceries and children's clothing. The Greens are unveiling their plan, allowing people to earn up to $40,000 before paying any federal tax on their income. They promise to pay for it by increasing corporate taxes to pre-Harper levels.

Conservative leader, Pierre Poliev, promises seniors would be allowed to earn up to $34,000 tax-free. They would also have the option to keep savings in RRSPs until the age of 73. Two other news now. The fourth victim of a Winnipeg serial killer has been identified as Ashley Shingoose of St. Teresa Point First Nation. Until today she was known as Buffalo Woman. The National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, Cindy Woodhouse says she has spoken with the woman's parents and offered her condolences. Shin Goose was 31 when she was last seen

near a Winnipeg homeless shelter in March 2022. Jeremy Skibicki was convicted last year of first degree murder in the slaying of four indigenous women, including Shin Goose. The White House is on the defensive amid the continuing fallout from the security lapse murder in the slaying of four indigenous women, including Shingoos. The White House is on the defensive amid the continuing fallout from the security lapse involving a signal group chat. The Atlantic Magazine has published a full transcript of the chat in which one of its

journalists was included by accident. It includes more details of high-level U.S. officials discussing military strikes in Yemen. But White House press secretary Caroline Levitt says the transcript proves nothing. There was no classified information transmitted. There were no war plans discussed. We have said all along no war plans were discussed, no classified material was sent. You have the Secretary of Defense saying that. You have the director of the CIA, the director of national intelligence, the FBI director

all testifying to that under oath and they should be trusted with that. Levitt says President Donald Trump continues to place great trust in his national security team. As for the use of Signal, the White House maintains it is an approved app and is the most secure and efficient way to communicate. Brazil's Supreme Court has cleared a path for charges to be laid against former president Jair Bolsonaro. Prosecutors allege he plotted to stay in office after his election defeat in 2022. And they say he hatched a plan to poison his successor, Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, and kill a Supreme Court judge. That plan went off the rails after

Bolsonaro failed to secure the Army support. If convicted, the former president could face decades in prison. And that is Your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Tom Harrington.
