The World This Hour for 2025/11/06 at 19:00 EST

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.

The member for Edmonton Riverbend, Matt Jenneru, says he's resigning his seat. With all of this coming ahead of a crucial budget vote,

Marina von Stalkleberg has the latest. Matt Jenneru's resignation comes after rumors swirled for days that he was considering crossing the floor to the liberals. In a statement, the MP for Edmonton Riverbend says he informed the Conservatives earlier today he would be quitting. He says he has, quote, great admiration for the many remarkable individuals who were elected to the House of Commons on both sides of the aisle. Jenneru did not provide more details for why he's leaving, but did ask people not to contact his family. His departure comes just days after fellow conservative MP Chris Dantrema also left the conservatives to join the Liberals. The Liberal minority government needs just two votes now to pass its new budget.

It is a confidence vote, meaning without the support, an election would be called. Marina von Stackleberg, CBC News, Ottawa. And speaking of that budget process, the Liberal Budget, has cleared its first confidence vote. The table will now compile the results. of the vote. Yeas Poo, 139, 139, 198, 548-190. I declare the sub-amendment defeated. The Liberals, Block Quebecois and NDP,

voted down a conservative sub-amendment on the budget this evening. As we heard, if it had passed, it would have forced a new election. Today's vote doesn't necessarily mean every Block or NDP MP will support the budget itself. The vote on that is expected later this month. Emotions ran high at a British Columbia ostrich farm today

after Canadian Food Inspection Agency employees descended on the birds. Earlier, the Supreme Court decided it would not hear an appeal by the farm's owners. They're fighting a cull order against their flock brought on by an avian flu outbreak. Yasmin Chania has the latest. Walk away because your maker is watching you right now. Farm supporter Jim Kerr yells through a microphone standing on the side of a highway overlooking the ostrich pens. Crews in hazmat suits could be seen

trying to round up the birds as many tearful supporters look on. Since the Supreme Court decided not to hear the farm's case, there is now no legal impediment to the CFIA killing roughly 300 ostriches. The agency ordered the cull in December after an avian flu outbreak.

Virologist Angela Rasmussen says she believes the Supreme Court made the right decision from a scientific perspective. She says even though it's been months since the outbreak, the birds could still be infectious and that testing them is difficult. Ostriches are seven to nine feet tall, extremely strong, and they can actually disembowel a person. The CFIA says it has followed all court decisions until this point and expects the farm owners to do the same. Yasmin Ganea, CBC News, Edgewood, B.C.

In Alberta, teachers will take the provincial government to court for using the notwithstanding clause to order them back to work. The fight for justice continues. Today, the Alberta Teachers Association has taken the first legal step to challenge this abuse of power. That's Jason Schilling, president of the Alberta Teachers Association. He says the union will ask for an injunction preventing the enforcement of the law until the courts have ruled on its constitutionality. 51,000 Alberta teachers were on strike for three weeks until this law forced them back to the classroom. Schilling says getting an injunction would put the union back in a strike position,

but he wouldn't say if members would return to the picket line. And the two new teams in the professional women's hockey league now have names. They are the Vancouver Golden Eyes and the Seattle Torrent. The Golden Eyes and Torrent will play their first game against each other on November 21st in Vancouver. There are now eight teams in this league. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Kate McGilvery.

I don't know.
