Meantime, in neighbouring Manitoba, more communities are under evacuation orders, forcing more Manitobans out of their homes. Rosanna Hempel updates that situation. Officials say no homes or structures had been damaged in Flintlawn as of Saturday morning, a concern with the changing winds potentially pushing the fire south. Evacuee Leslie Bezo.

Another cabinet minister is commenting in the wake of US President Donald Trump's latest tariff announcement.

On social media, Trump later added that new surcharge will also apply to aluminum. Dominic LeBlanc is responsible for trade with the U.S. He says Canadians can give themselves more than the U.S. can take away. Last night, industry minister Melanie Jolie said Canada's fighting the unjustified and illegal levies. Business professor Ian Lee of Carleton University says Trump's tariff hike will scare away investment. It affects all of us. Because of the uncertainty it's causing, it drives down the exchange rate, it has an impact on the exchange rate, and of course it has an even larger impact

on capital investment in the country and all industries who are saying gee whiz, it's so unpredictable what's going on. I would maybe should be investing in the states to avoid these issues. Trump says the tariff hike will take effect this coming Wednesday. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers is holding rallies across the country. They come after Canada Post presented its final offers on Wednesday. Canada Post said Friday the parties are at an impasse.

intelligence for legal submissions. Mercedes Ghezdambide has the story. The judge said one of the cases the defense cited appeared to be made up and warned that generative AI must not be used for legal research. Amy Salazan is an associate professor of law at the University of Ottawa. She says while AI can reference real legal cases, it sometimes throws in citations that look real but aren't. And that could lead to a miscarriage of justice. We need to make sure that message is getting to lawyers though, because it does seem that

not everybody understands that with this technology, you need to have this level of caution. Criminal lawyer Nadir Satchik says lawyers do get help with information gathering, and AI is a resource that can be used. But the lawyer is still ultimately responsible for whatever is submitted to court. You better make sure that if you're relying upon technology like AI that it's done properly. CBC Toronto contacted the defence lawyer in the assault case. He declined our interview request and said in a statement he's focused on complying with the court's directions.
