Prime Minister Mark Carney to take questions from reporters on Wednesday
May 21, 2025

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney will take questions from reporters in Ottawa on Wednesday evening after wrapping up a two-day cabinet retreat to prepare for the upcoming House of Commons session.
Carney will speak to reporters at 6 p.m. on Parliament Hill.
There will be no shortage of issues for Carney to address. The House of Commons will kick off a new session next week with a throne speech read by King Charles III, with the government planning to implement
its promised tax cut before
the House breaks for the summer.
Carney also confirmed to reporters on the weekend that his government
would table a budget in the fall
, rather than next spring as Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne had said earlier. The government also confirmed
comments by U.S. President Donald Trump
that it was in talks with the U.S. about joining its new missile defence system dubbed the Golden Dome.
More to come.

The massive surgical backlogs left after rolling pandemic lockdowns are clearing but Canadians are still waiting longer than they were pre-COVID for new hips and knees, cancer surgeries and other “priority” procedures, new data show.
Even though 26 per cent more hip and knee replacements were done in 2024 than 2019, it still wasn’t enough to meet the need: just 68 per cent of Canadians received a hip replacement within the 26-week benchmark last year, compared to 75 per cent in 2019.
