8:30 – Former Justice Minister and Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould has submitted documents to the House of Commons Justice Committee. According to Wilson-Raybould, the documents she tabled yesterday contain records of text and phone conversations she described in her initial testimony before the committee, as well as written responses to some of the other witnesses who challenged her evidence. The committee voted to end the prove into the SNC-Lavalin affair last week, but what might the new evidence mean for the investigation? The documents are still being redacted and translated, so to get a better sense of what the implications could be, John is joined by John Ibbitson, political commentator for the Globe and Mail.

10:00 – We’re in the final stretch of the countdown to the carbon tax, which is set to be imposed April 1. Despite the looming deadline, many businesses still have serious concerns about the tax, and the CFIB describes it as a “red tape nightmare for small firms.” John is joined by Marilyn Braun-Pollon, the CFIB’s vice-president of prairie and agri-business, to discuss the carbon tax concerns.

11:00 – Sukhmander Singh, the owner of Adesh Deol Trucking, the trucking company involved in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash, was handed a $5,000 fine yesterday after pleading guilty to five safety-related charges including failing to keep a driver’s log, failing to make sure that his drivers followed safety regulations, keeping more than a single daily logbook, and not following a written safety program. We’ve now seen the truck driver and company owner sentenced, and the province introducing mandatory training for truck drivers, so we want to know – do you think enough has been done to reduce the risk of another tragedy?

12:00 – In case you were living under a rock (little paleontology humour there), Saskatchewan is officially home to the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex ever discovered. A team of paleontologists at the University of Alberta and Florida State University calculated that the Saskatchewan T-rex dubbed “Scotty” weighed an estimated 8,870 kg, making it more massive than any other specimen of any meat-eating dinosaur ever found. To tell us more about the life of Scotty and the history of the fossil first discovered near Eastend in 1994, John is joined by Ryan McKellar, paleontologist with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum.
