What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.

In the wake of an event-packed opening day that, in addition to the scheduled high-level closed-door meetings, included a trade-focused tête-à-tête between Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump that resulted in an agreement to aim for a cross-border deal within 30 days and, a few hours later, an earlier-than-expected departure by Trump himself, who is now back in Washington, D.C., the G7 summit in Kananaskis is nevertheless expected to continue this morning.
