The federal government has introduced long-promised legislation aimed at knocking down inter-provincial 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.

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. Stephen 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.

appeal goes ahead. In the meantime, a vigil to mark the four years since the attack took place is happening today. Kate Dubinsky, CBC News, London.
