8:30 – Richardson International, Canada’s largest canola export, had its authorization to export to China revoked this week. The company believes it has been caught up in the political dispute over the Vancouver arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou and the ongoing extradition process. So what does this mean for Saskatchewan producers, the canola industry, and our provincial economy? To help answer these questions, John is joined by Chris Dekker, president and CEO of the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership.

10:00 – Gerald Butts, Justin Trudeau’s former principal secretary and right-hand man, is set to speak before the House of Commons Justice Committee this morning. Although he denied any wrongdoing in his letter of resignation, Jody Wilson-Raybould alleged Butts applied a lot of pressure on her on behalf of the Prime Minister’s Office to prevent the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin. So will he defend himself or try to take all the blame for Justin Trudeau? We’ll find out today as we provide coverage of the testimony, and we want to hear your reaction.

12:00 – We have a Moose Truce with Norway. In the feud over the tallest moose statue in the world, Norway has ceded the title to Canada. The decision was made during a “summit” held between Moose Jaw Mayor Fraser Tolmie and Linda Otnes Henriksen, deputy mayor of Stor-Elvdal. If Mac the Moose in Moose Jaw is upgraded to reclaim his previous title, Norway has promised not to retaliate. Henriksen joins John now to discuss the peaceful resolution to this international incident.
