From CBC News, The World This Hour. I'm Kate McGilfrey. The Liberals are now just two seats shy for majority in the House of Commons. That's thanks to Nova Scotia MP Chris Dantremant, who yesterday decided to leave the Conservative Party and cross the floor. I didn't find I was represented there.

My ideals of trying to find solutions and help your community rather than trying to oppose everything that's happening. That's the opportunity that's being offered by Prime Minister Carney. Don Tramon made the move just as the liberal budget was being tabled. He says the liberal fiscal plan is the right path forward for both his riding and the country. Liberal MP Mark Miller says his caucus welcomes Don Tramont and any other conservative considering a move. It's not about the conservative movement. It's about the individual that leads it. And if those

people are tired of them, they know how I've been feeling for the last few years. Some conservative MPs are coming down hard on Dantramal, calling his decision shameful and a betrayal. A fish plant in the Newfoundland town of St. Mary's has burned to the ground after a fire ripped through the building last night. It happened at the height of a powerful storm that brought hurricane force winds and pounding rain, a weather system that's still hitting the province. Terry Roberts reports. I'm devastated. When I got down to what I see the flames coming up to the roof. Stephen Ryan is mayor of St. Mary's. For the past three years, he oversaw an economic resurgence in his town.

But on Tuesday night, during a fierce wind and rainstorm, it all went up in flames. Local fire chief Don Boyle says his brigade could only watch as the fire consumed the building. not do anything to save that building. The fire was too large. We don't have the resources to put a fire out like that. It's not known what caused the fire, and the owners are not commenting. But it looks like a small town seafood success story is now buried in ashes. Terry Roberts, CBC News, St. Mary's.

The U.S. Supreme Court is taking a hard look at President Donald Trump's use of tariffs. This morning, Justice has heard oral arguments on their legality and constitution. This after Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on virtually all of the country's trading partners. Willie Lowry has more. I want to explain to me how you draw the line because you say we shouldn't be concerned because this is foreign affairs. Supreme Court justices grilled President Donald Trump's legal team, questioning whether the president was within his right to implement tariffs using a 1977 emergency powers act. Trump's team says yes, but even the most conservative justices appear skeptical.

and a group of small businesses and several states are also saying no. Elizabeth Weidra of the Constitutional Authority Center said the case has far-reaching implications. It's also an issue that is of global importance, and so the Supreme Court is going to note that not just the eyes of America are upon it, but the eyes of the world. It remains unclear what impact the decision will have on Canada. Legal experts say Trump likely has other means to implement tariffs at its disdain. disposal. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington. And the black boxes from a deadly plane crash in Kentucky have been recovered. The UPS plane crashed in Louisville yesterday, killing three people on board and six others on the

ground. More than a dozen people were also injured. Kentucky governor, Andy Bashir, says the outcome could have been much worse. I want to start by acknowledging the impressive work of so many fire departments that took what was a blazing inferno, created by a plane with 38,000 gallons of aviation fuel, and we're able to contain it. This year has declared a state of emergency to make it easier to provide resources for recovery efforts. And that is the world this hour.
