Changes at ICBC are coming in full effect today - and so from now on  there will be a limit of $5,500 on pain and suffering payouts for injuries designated as “minor” - a move that is designed to save the crown corporation upwards of one  billion dollars a year.

The Trial Lawyers Association of BC is launching a constitutional challenge against the changes, saying it violates basic human rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Guest: Ron Nairne

‘Why would I resign?’: Wilson-Raybould not backing down on SNC-Lavalin scandal

In an exclusive scrum with Global News on her way into Question Period, Jody Wilson-Raybould says she will not resign from the Liberal caucus.

Transport Minister Marc Garneau has also been speaking about Jody Wilson-Raybould, and that taped phone conversation with Clerk of the Privy Council, Michael Wernick.

Garneau says that the recording of the phone calls was “totally inappropriate”, and “not an honourable thing to do”.
