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.

Donate at lovescarbro.cairbo. from cbic news the world this hour i'm gina louise phillips tuesday is a big day for the carney government that's when it will introduce its first budget but because he leads a minority government carney will need some opposition support to pass it benjamin lopez stephen has the latest the liberal minority government will introduce a federal budget on tuesday but it's not at all clear if the government has enough opposition votes to pass it, and that raises the prospect of a snap election. You can have an affordable budget, and I've given Mr. Kearney a plan for that.

All he has to do is accept it. Conservative leader Pierre Pahliav says he wants a budget that keeps the federal deficit under $42 billion and drops the industrial carbon tax. We can't have a costly budget that makes life more costly for the Canadian people. Frankly, given the serious issues facing us, I'm not sure that an election is good for the country at the moment. Interim NDP leader Don Davies says his party is worried about cuts to the public service, but he doesn't think Canadians want another trip to the polls.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's confident this budget is the right one for Canada, and he's ready for a fight. Benjamin Lopez, Stephen, CBC News, Ottawa. In Edmonton. Dozens of protesters stand on the steps of Alberta's legislature, some waving the flag of Sudan. That city was overrun by the paramilitary rapid support forces last week. The protesters are calling for an end to the bloody civil war, which began two and a half years ago. CBC's Sam Samson attended the rally and tells us what Canada is doing to address the conflict.

Late last week, immigration, refugees, and citizenship Canada announced it would continue special measures for Sudanese people already here. So extending things like open work or study permits or allowing people to change their temporary status without paying application fees. But the program meant to bring refugees from Sudan to Canada stopped taking applications earlier this year. And beyond that, many people I spoke with say they want the Canadian government to call out other countries like the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, which have been accused of funding either side of the conflict in Sudan.

They're an employee with North London Eastern Rail. Police Superintendent John Lovelace said It says it's not terrorism-related. And counter-terrorism policing, we're initially supporting our investigation. However, at this stage, there is nothing to suggest that this is a terrorist incident.

As Caroline Bargut tells us, lockdowns have been ordered, as farmers desperately try to protect their flocks. When a farm is on lockdown, the birds are kept in barns and not allowed out. Every vehicle that comes to the property must be disinfected. And every worker who interacts with the animals must wear protective equipment and change their clothes. That's because if avian flu is detected at a commercial poultry farm, every bird, infected or not, must be called. Last year, 81 farms in British Columbia reported infections.

BC's chief veterinarian, Teresa Byrne, says the province could be on track. back to a similar result. Based on what we saw in the prairies and what we're seeing in Washington, we would anticipate the infection pressure could be just as high as in the last years. The province is currently studying whether air filtration in Barnes helps prevent the spread of the virus, with around 70 commercial farms taking part in the pilot project. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency estimates 8.8 million birds have died or been culled in BC in recent years. Caroline Bargut, CBC News, Vancouver. And that's the world this hour.
