MP's return to the House of Commons Monday after their summer break, and Prime Minister Mark Carney faced off against conservative leader Pierre Pahliav 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 Pali. to turn his sights on his rival. When will the Prime Minister match the grand promises with the real change Canadians need? Compared to Pollyev, Mark Carney is a political novice who struggled at times to answer questions

under relentless heckling from the conservative benches. 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 Newfoundland and Labrador will head to the polls on October 14th. John Hogan's liberals will try to win a fourth consecutive government. They're up against the Progressive Conservative Party led by Tony Wakeham

and the NDP led by Jim Dinn. An appeals court in the U.S. has just ruled that Lisa Cook can stay on the board of the U.S. Federal Reserve, despite efforts by U.S. President Donald Trump to remove her from the American Central Bank. 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. 10. 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 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. A small plane crashed in the middle of Toronto tonight. All three people on board survived.

It happened near Monarch Park Collegiate Institute in the city's east end. Jim Jessup is Toronto's fire chief. This is rare to see a plane crash land into the heart of the city on a high school property, something I have not seen in my close to 30 years. We are very, very fortunate that there were no injuries that have turned out the way it did because it could have been a lot worse. A soccer game was underway when the plane went down. Witnesses say they heard a loud crashing sound.

Officials are holding the scene until transport Canada investigators arrive. Alberta will become the first province to make citizenship status mandatory on driver's licenses and other forms of identification. Premier Daniel Smith says it's being done to make it easier to offer services that only citizens are entitled to and also to prevent election fraud by making sure that only citizens vote. Canadian citizens will have a marker with the letters C-A-N added to their documents,

non-citizens can get driver's licenses but will not have a notation on their ID. And that is your world this hour. I'm Neil Hurland.
