MPs returned to the House of Commons today after their summer break, and Prime Minister Mark Carney faced off against Conservative leader Pierre Palliyev for the first time in the House.

Tom Perry reports. After losing his seat in the last election, Conservative leader Pierre Palliyev, clawed his way back into Parliament by winning a safe conservative riding in Alberta over the summer. And I thank the Prime Minister for calling a prompt by election. I wonder if one day he might regret that decision. It didn't take long for Polyev to turn his sights on his rival. When will the Prime Minister match the grand promises with the real change Canadians need? Compared to Polyev, Mark Carney is a political novice who struggled at times to answer questions under relentless heckling from the Bensches. We need to be clear. We need to be clear about the scale of the crisis we are in.

The first exchange in what could be a busy sitting of Parliament. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa. Voters in Lithland and Labrador will head to the polls on October 14th.

The U.S. Fed will hold meetings over the next two days before deciding whether to cut interest rates. Trump has criticized the Fed for not cutting interest rates fast

enough. Meantime, the U.S. Senate has also just confirmed Stephen Mirren, a Trump nominee to the Fed Board. U.S. investigators are sharing new details about the suspect in Charlie Kirk's murder, including what he allegedly wrote in a note prior to the shooting. The CBC's Katie Simpson has more from Washington. Cash Patel joins us now. On the conservative broadcaster Fox News, FBI director Cash Patel shared new details surrounding the evidence in the Charlie Kirk murder investigation.

Specifics about the suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, and a note he allegedly wrote. He had a text message exchange. He was the suspect with another individual in which he claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for. Patel also says they found Robinson's DNA on a screwdriver collected from the roof of the building where police believe the fatal shot was fired and on a towel wrapped around the alleged murder weapon, a long gun recovered in a nearby wooded area. Investigators are still determining a motive, but that hasn't stopped the Trump administration from blaming perceived political opponents, again, threatening to use federal resources to dismantle groups, they say, are problematic. Katie Simpson, CBC News, Washington. Alberta will become the first province to make citizenship status mandatory on driver's licenses and other forms of identification.
