Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. July 23rd, 2025

There is growing chatter at City Hall today about the current salaries of Ottawa's city councillors, and whether now is the time to ask for a payraise. Mayor Mark Sutcliffe says he understands where some of the city's representatives are coming from, but also points to more pressing matters that need to be solved. In the end, he says now is not the time to be having this dialogue. Do you side against him, or is he right on the money? Guest host Chris Holski sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today's Question of the Day. Meantime, we have reached Day 3 of the Canadian Premiers meetings, as federal operations in Huntsville wind down for the night. CTV's Rachel Aiello dissects what has happened over the past 24 hours.
