When a body is discovered 10 miles out to sea, it sparks a mind-blowing police investigation. There's a man living in this address in the name of a deceased. He's one of the most wanted men in the world. This isn't really happening. Officers are finding large sums of money. It's a tale of murder, skullduggery and international intrigue. So who really is he? I'm Sam Mullins and this is Sea of Lies from CBC's Uncovered, available now.

From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Chileanne Hazelwood. The federal government has introduced long-promised legislation aimed at knocking down interprovincial trade barriers. The bill also vows to speed up nation-building projects. David Thurton reports. Canada is a country that used to build big things, but in recent decades it's become too difficult to build in this country. The bill fulfills a campaign promise Prime Minister Mark Carney made.

It outlines a pathway to designate projects in the national interest. The legislation spells out that Ottawa will consult with provinces, territories and indigenous peoples. Projects that strengthen sovereignty, protect the environment and advance the interests of indigenous peoples will be considered. That could be an offshore wind project on Alberta to BC pipeline. The bill also aims to eliminate federal trade barriers. It's our contribution to a broader effort with all the provinces and territories to

eliminate the barriers that have held our country back for far too long. Making it easier for workers to get a federal license by recognizing provincial and territorial ones. David Thurton, CBC News, Ottawa. Canada's unemployment rate went up to 7% in May. It's the highest it's been in almost a decade, with the exception of the COVID years. That's despite Canada adding 9,000 jobs to the economy last month. Most analysts have been predicting steep losses because of the U.S. tariffs that came into force in April. Nathaniel Veltman is appealing his life sentence.

He was found guilty of killing a Muslim family in London, Ontario on this day four years ago. Now his lawyer says there are grounds to order a new trial. Kate Tobinski reports. The now 24-year-old Nathaniel Veltman is in a federal prison outside of Ontario. A jury found him guilty on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in an attack that horrified the country. Right away, Veltman indicated he would appeal, and now the paperwork is officially in. Steven Weitzman is his lawyer. Mr. Veltman, of course, has a right to exercise his full legal rights, including his right to an appeal.

The judge overseeing the jury trial called Veltman's actions a textbook example of terrorism. Veltman's legal team is also contesting comments he made while in police custody. They say he wasn't properly told about his rights. The matter is still months away from making its way to the judges, who will decide if the appeal goes ahead. In the meantime, a vigil to mark the four years since the attack took place is happening today. Kate Dabinski, CBC News, London. The RCMP tells CBC News that Ryan Wedding's alleged criminal network remains active in Canada. He's the former team Canada Olympian turned fugitive. As

Thomas Dagglet reports, this comes despite efforts to dismantle the cartel linked group. It's the first time police confirm Ryan Wedding's alleged murderous drug trafficking network still has a foothold in Canada while the former Olympic snowboarder remains on the run. Last fall, authorities in multiple countries arrested more than a dozen of his suspected accomplices. But RCMP Chief Superintendent Chris Leather tells CBC News that large-scale operation didn't manage to dismantle the drug ring in Canada.

There certainly are elements of his network that remain in place, but I couldn't say much more than that at this time. He points to several ongoing investigations involving the Mounties, Toronto police and Ontario provincial police. US authorities say Wedding could be hiding in Mexico and are offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to his arrest. Thomas Daigle, CBC News, Toronto. The man mistakenly deported from Maryland to El Salvador is back in the U.S. Kilmour Albrego Garcia will face criminal charges of transporting illegal immigrants within the US.

His case has become a flashpoint for escalating tension between the White House and the courts. Attorney General Pam Bondi says if convicted Garcia will serve his sentence in the US before being deported back to El Salvador. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
