MPs voted overwhelmingly against a Block Quebequa amendment to the federal budget. It called for the budget to be rejected on the basis that it is, quote, harmful to Quebec.

The German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius believes there is a direct link with Russia and a planned EU loan to Ukraine that could be funded by frozen Russian assets. We all see it that way and so do the Belgians, says Pistorius. Frozen Russian assets are held worldwide, including in Canada. The historian says the drone sightings are designed to create uncertainty and fear in Belgium. Russia has not commented.

The Belgian government is considering a multi-million dollar package of measures that it says will strengthen the country's anti-dron systems. Anna Cunningham, CBC News, London. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it has completed a call of about 300 ostriches on a BC farm. It says they were killed by the most humane. method available, marksman in a controlled setting.
