This summer, there will be a tax cut for millions of Canadians. Prime Minister Mark Carney has signed an order instructing the government to reduce the lowest federal tax bracket by 1%. That change takes place July 1st. But what Canadians won't see this summer is a federal budget. Here's Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne. What we have today is a middle class tax cut. That's step one.

Step two, you're going to have a trone speech. We'll outline the Canadian government priority and there will be a fall economic statement to follow. So those are really the sequence that you're going to see. These announcements were made after Carney met with his new cabinet for the first time. David Thurton has more on other challenges they discussed. I'm happy to be the new industry minister. Melanie Jolie's new role places her up close to the sectors heavily impacted by Donald

Trump's trade war. My goal, and that's why I wanted to become the new Minister of Industry, it is to make sure that notwithstanding all the shenanigans coming out of the White House, we can create economic certainty here in the country, that we can attract investments, that we can create jobs. It's a huge undertaking. Another concern, Alberta separation. Tim Hodgson is the new federal minister of energy and natural resources. I look forward to working with my provincial and territorial counterparts, our indigenous

partners, our industrial partners and other stakeholders to build a more prosperous, secure and safe Canada. Hodgson said one of the first trips he'll be taking is out west. David Thurton, CBC News, Ottawa. Kids in Canada are falling behind according to a new report by UNICEF. It shows Canada ranks closer to the bottom among developed countries for youth suicide, social skills, and child mortality. Health reporter Jennifer Yoon has the details. Canada is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but our children are not doing well compared to kids in other high-income countries, says UNICEF. One in five report being frequently bullied.

One in four say they struggle to make friends at school. And suicide remains a leading cause of death among adolescents. So this is not a report card that I think we would be proudly putting on our fridge. Savon Palbatsian, the CEO of Unisoft Canada, says compared to other countries Canada simply hasn't invested enough money in our children, from mental health supports to programs that promote physical activity. Some countries have frankly made children and youth a bigger priority. Palbatsian is calling on all levels of government to make sure no child is hungry in the classroom, no child struggles to access health care, and no family has to choose between medication

or rent. Jennifer Yoon, CBC News, Toronto. On the second leg of his Middle East trip, Donald Trump has signed another multi-billion dollar deal. It's the largest order of jets in the history of Boeing. That's pretty good. Qatar will buy up to 210 jets from Boeing in what's considered the largest one-time order of aircraft in the company's history.

The US president received a lavish welcome in Doha, treated to displays of camels and red cyber trucks. Trump has said he plans to accept a luxury jet from Qatar to be used as Air Force One. US lawmakers have raised security concerns as well as ethical questions, given its value, some $400 dollars US. Palestinian medics say Israeli strikes have killed at least 70 people in northern Gaza. At a hospital, people mourn the deaths of their relatives, including an eight-month-old, born and killed in the war. Medics say several homes in Jabalia were struck overnight. Israel says it's looking into the reports. Medics say several homes in Jebaliah were struck overnight. Israel says it's looking into the reports. The military says it had issued what it

described as a final warning to residents of Jebaliah town and refugee camp. It ordered residents to evacuate to shelters in Gaza City, adding it would retaliate for rockets previously fired into Israel. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
