This ascent isn't for everyone. You need grit to climb this high this often. You've got to be an underdog that always over-delivers. You've got to be 6,500 hospital staff, 1,000 doctors, all doing so much with so little. You've got to be Scarborough. Defined by our uphill battle and always striving towards new heights. And you can help us keep climbing.

And today, among other items on his agenda, he was shopping for submarines. Murray Brewster reports. The Prime Minister was given a tour of a brand new KSS3 submarine. Built for the Korean Navy, launched a few days ago.

The kind Hanwa Ocean wants to sell to Canada. The company has been fairly aggressive. It got to be one of the two preferred bidders by submitting a detailed $20 to $24 billion unsolicited proposal to the federal government just before last spring's election. South Korea put political weight behind the bid. The country's prime minister accompanied Mark Carney on the visit to the sprawling naval facility.

There's one submarine in the water, and today it was flying a Canadian flag. Another is up on the skids in a construction shed. It's a not-so-sustle demonstration by the Koreans that their production lines are active and they can deliver four submarines to Canada by 2035. The Navy's deadline to retire the old Victoria-class boats. Carney's visit is also significant because it's a sign the federal government wants to move swiftly towards a decision. Marie Rooster, CBC News, Koje, South Korea. Latest figures are showing Canada's tourism industry is coming off a record-breaking summer.

Hotels, attractions, and tour operators all had their busiest season ever, with revenues hitting an all-time high. Kyle Backs has the details. Brent Coinberg can finally catch his breath. He offers travelers guided ATV and other tours through the mountains in southwest Alberta. The tourism in the summer was really good for me. Business was booming, quadruple the number of customers, nearly half or international. He's not alone, as it was. a banner year across the country. New figures from Destination Canada estimate record high revenue

for the tourism industry this past summer, nearly $60 billion, up 6% compared to last year. For Koinberg, it exceeded expectations. It was unbelievable. I got a lot of families booked for next year already. Not only were more Canadians spending their travel dollars within the country, but revenue by International Travelers was also up. Kyle Backs, CBC News, Calgary. The federal government is looking to crack down on trucking companies that misclassify their drivers as independent contractors.

It allows employers to dodge their tax obligations while depriving workers of benefits and pensions. It's an issue the government says it will be addressing in next week's budget. Here's jobs minister, Patty Heidu. The reality is that when people are being misused or abused, in this way and some could call this abuse, oftentimes they are unaware of their rights and they're unaware of the fact that this is happening to them. Budget 2025 will be setting aside money to help

the Canada Revenue Agency address noncompliance issues and the CRA also will be lifting a longstanding moratorium on penalties for failure to report fees. Another five suspects have been arrested in connection to this month's heist at the Louvre in Paris. Two other arrests were made earlier this week with Police saying those suspects admit they were at least partially involved in the robbery. More than $100 million worth of jewelry was stolen in the early morning break-in, and as of today, the jewels still have not been recovered. Blue J fans, your World Series dream is alive and well. And the Blue Jays come into L.A. take two out of three here,

beating them tonight six to one, and they're up three games to two in the World Series. And again, 6 won the final score last night for the Jays behind yet another remarkable performance by rookie pitcher Trey Yassavich, the 22-year-old striking out 12 Dodgers over seven innings of work. And the Jays now just one victory away from winning the World Series. The two teams back now in Toronto with game six set for tomorrow night, our Roger Center. And that is the world this hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings. Thank you.
