Tariffs and parliamentary strategy are high on the agenda today

as Prime Minister Mark Carney opens a two-day retreat in Toronto with members of his cabinet. Tom Perry reports. At a nondescript hotel on the northern edge of Toronto, where multi-lane thoroughfares funneled traffic onto the 401, Canada's busiest highway, Mark Carney, sits down with, his cabinet today to map out the road ahead. I can tell you that the prime minister is focused on the speed of delivery. Families Minister Patty Heidew expects the two-day session to focus on the

government's top priorities, how to offset the impact of U.S. tariffs. Polster David Coletto with abacus data says Canadians want results, especially when it comes to Canada-U.S. relations. Well, I think the focus really is on why they were elected, and that was to deal with Donald Trump. So that remains, I think, a priority. It should be a priority for the government. This meeting comes as the Liberal government continues work on a budget expected to include some significant belt tightening. And as Carney prepares

to once again go toe to toe to with conservative leader Pierre Palliev. Tom Perry, CBC News, Toronto. Also today, the Assembly of First Nations opens its annual general meeting in Winnipeg. And like the Carney cabinet, the Trump tariffs will be discussed.

And so too will be the federal government's controversial response. Bill Bill C-5. Cameron McIntosh has more. We stand with all Canadians in condemning Trump's illegal tariffs. National Chief Cindy Woodhouse-Nepin-Ack says First Nations share the goal of greater economic independence from the U.S. But there are fears the federal government's Bill C-5, Building Canada Act, intended to fast-track projects of national interest, will trample treaty rights and environmental protections.

First Nations support economic growth and prosperity. for all, but not at the expense of our rights. The leaders of 634 First Nations are meeting in Winnipeg. Economics and treaty rights prominent on the agenda. Many concerned about Bill C-5, which was passed without much indigenous consultation. Federal Minister of Crown Indigenous Relations Rebecca Alty will speak here. On the agenda, resolutions to call on the government to include First Nations rights in future trade negotiations with the U.S. and Mexico.

Cameron McIntosh, CBC News, Winnipe. Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un were among the guests of honor at a military parade today in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. With the leaders of more than 25 countries also in attendance, Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered an address that appeared to be directed at the West. Comrades and friends. The Chinese nation is the great nation that is never intimidated by any bullies

and always values independence and forges ahead. U.S. President Donald Trump has posted a response that accuses Xi, Russia and North Korea of conspiring against the United States. Meanwhile, President Trump says the U.S. military has carried out a targeted strike on a small vessel in the Southern Caribbean. We just literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat. These came out of Venezuela. We took it out. Trump says 11 people were killed.

He says the vessel was being used by the Trende Aragua gang operating out of Venezuela, and he says it should serve as a warning to anyone bringing drugs into the United States. Trump has been building up a U.S. naval presence in the Caribbean. He says it's to combat drug trafficking, but many foreign analysts are suggesting it's an attempt to force Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro from power. And that is the World This Hour.
