From CBC News, the world this hour. I'm Claude Fague. To Edmonton and the Stanley Cup Final. Brad Marshand has won it for the Panthers.

As seen on hockey night in Canada, Halifax native Brad Marshand scored the game winning goal at 8.05 of the second overtime, his second goal of the game, as the Panthers beat the Oilers 5-4 to tie the cup final at a game apiece. The series now shifts to South Florida for the next two games, beginning with game three in sunrise on Monday night. One Canadian economy, not just the name of the new bill table today in the House of Commons, but also a cornerstone election pitch by the Prime Minister. Mark Carney wants to fast-track big building projects and break down trade barriers between provinces.

Kate McKenna reports. It's a day that has literally been decades in the making. Prime Minister Mark Carney hasn't shied away from setting sky-high expectations. This government introduced one of its first marquee pieces of legislation. First pitched during the election as a way to fight back against the economic carnage of Donald Trump's tariffs, Bill C-5 seeks to remove some federal barriers to inter-provincial trade and make it easier to get nation-building projects off the ground. It's become too difficult to build in this country. The bill would streamline and speed up the approval

process for some projects including mines, ports and pipelines identified by the government as being in the national interest. So far premiers like Quebec's Francois Legault and Manitoba's Wab Kanu like what they see. When we see we will accelerate the start of projects I like that very much. Let's put Manitobans to work and let's use that work to build up this country that we love so much. Kate McKenna, CBC News, Ottawa. In Saskatchewan, two people have now been charged with setting wildfires. Here's Premier Scott Moe.

Many if not virtually all of the fires that we're dealing with in Saskatchewan are, although not intentionally, are human caused. Some of those have been intentionally human caused. The fires in northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba have forced thousands of people to flee their communities. In Alberta an evacuation order has been expanded in Grand Prairie. The end of the school year is right around the corner but many teachers are already stocking up on supplies for September and this year there's more pressure to buy Canadian. Deanna Sumanac-Johnson reports.

It's a very difficult situation. Quebec science teacher Tasha Osman says the director from her school board stating that all school supplies have to be bought from a Quebec supplier with a storefront made her worried how she'll do her job. So I can't walk into a store and buy, you know, a liter of certain chemicals or a bucket of frogs for dissection. In an email to CBC News, Quebec government said public bodies must give preference to the purchase of Quebec goods for acquisitions below a certain amount. New rules also restrict purchases from online vendors like Amazon. The reaction to Donald Trump's tariffs has led many provinces and territories to issue

similar edicts to their schools, but there are complications even if such policies are welcomed. School boards have hard enough time stretching the buck to buy everything they need. Buying Canadian often means more expensive. Deanna Sumanac-Johnson, CBC News, Toronto. The Canadian and European space agencies are renewing a commitment to their partnership. They say economic and political uncertainty are forcing them to work closely together. Canadian space agency president Lisa Campbell says space infrastructure is key to Canada's sovereignty.

You look at our satellites just above us. They have been essential tools and now power the delivery of many government services, environment, biodiversity, national defense. So increasingly our capacity to observe the Earth from the sky helps us. Canada and the European Space Agency have been collaborating since the early 70s. Formal cooperation began in 1979 with the agreement renewed five times, including the last in 2019. And that is your World This Hour.
