Quebec Lieutenant Stephen Gilbo is expected to stay in his position and former Natural Resources Minister

Jonathan Wilkinson is out. Other names being floated in Ottawa include former Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson and former Yellowknife Mayor Rebecca Alty. Kearney has said he will continue the Trudeau-era commitment of gender parity in cabinet. Kearney has signaled that his key priorities include making Canada's

economy more resilient in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump's terror threats. Expect that theme to continue. But Kearney will also have to manage his caucus and the potential disappointment of both old hands and new faces who don't make the cut. Kate McKenna, CBC News, Ottawa. — And tonight, senior liberal sources tell the host of CBC's Power and Politics, David Cochran, that John Fraser will become Canada's Justice Minister, Tim Hodson will become Minister

for Natural Resources and Energy, and former Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson will join Cabinet as Minister for Housing. Other names in Cabinet will include Eleanor Olshusky from Edmonton. Every province and the North as a region but not each territory will be represented with either a Secretary of State or a full cabinet minister. There's a surprised new twist in the federal election recount of a Quebec riding. A judicial recount over the weekend handed Thurbonne to the Liberals who who won by a single vote. But as Vanessa Lee reports, at least one voter says her ballot was not counted. I think it's really unfortunate.

Emmanuelle Bosset lives in the suburban Montreal riding of Terrebonne. She voted in the federal election using a mail-in ballot for the first time, which Elections Canada sent to her in a self-addressed return envelope. She mailed it on April 5th and thought it was a done deal. But then on May 2nd, days after the election, she was surprised to see the envelope was sent back to her. She noticed the last three digits of the postal code were wrong. Did you vote for the Bloc?

I voted for the Bloc Québécois. Maybe it's the vote that could have changed the outcome, she says. Elections Canada confirms there was a mistake on the return envelope it provided, but did not say if others were affected. The agency says it's looking into the situation. Vanessa Lee, CBC News, Montreal. Edan Alexander is back in Israel tonight. The Palestinian militant group Hamas handed over the 21-year-old Israeli-American hostage to

the Red Cross on Monday with hopes of restarting ceasefire talks. Sasha Petrasek reports. As Eidon Alexander was airlifted out of Gaza, his family cheered. Adopted father Doran Zechser beamed. It was the best meal that we had for 584 days. The American Israeli citizen serving with the IDF when he was kidnapped on October 7th was released by Hamas after direct negotiations with the US, bypassing the Israeli government. It offered no ceasefire and no exchange of Palestinian prisoners.

Take him, says one Gazan, but at least let aid in. Israel didn't offer that either. Instead, this was touted as a goodwill gesture by Hamas to get the US to pressure Israel into ending the 19-month war. But with 58 other hostages still held, 23 of them alive, Israel is preparing to expand its military operation, not end it.

Sasha Petrusik, CBC News, Toronto. And finally, in Stanley Cup Playoffs tonight, the Edmonton Oilers are hosting the Vegas Golden Knights in game four of their second round series.
