agreement announced today between the vatican and the canadian conference of catholic bishops the plan is to eventually get the cultural items back to the communities from which they came Megan Williams has more for Mroll. The sleek and Nuvialuit kayak used for whale and beluga hunts, and five dozen or so other cultural items will soon be heading home. The statements by the Vatican and Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops said Pope Leo has given the objects to the bishop who, quote, are committed to ensuring they are properly safeguarded, respected, and preserved.

The statement made no explicit reference to the items being returned to their indigenous communities of origin, But those involved in the negotiations say it's understood the bishops will oversee the handoff to indigenous communities. A historic day. Canadian ambassador to the Holy See, Joyce Napier, says the agreement was the result of urging the Canadian government to return the objects. Because it was important to our indigenous communities. The kayak and other objects were sent to Rome in 1925 for a world exhibition organized by Pope Pius, the 11th. Megan Williams, CBC News, Rome.

Canada is exempt from beef tariffs that fall under the current free trade agreement with the U.S. and Mexico. The president's move comes as he faces criticism over rising food prices. For the most part, the foods, when we cut back a little bit of those fares, we'll get the price down. But they're not competitive in this country, like tomatoes and bananas and things. We don't make them in this country. So there's no protection of our industries or our food products. But the issue is looming larger since the Republicans lost recent elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City.

So does May believe we could be headed towards the government falling and the possibility of an election? Well, I think it's very clear that the mood of the country is please no. But elections have

happened in the past by accident. McKinnon says he expects opposition MPs will have to spend the weekend doing some soul searching. Catherine Cullen, CBC News, Ottawa.
