Does the PBO stay with his analysis of 2022 that as the carbon tax reaches $170 per ton in 2030, lower income households should continue to receive rebates, but middle and upper-class households should be expected to pay hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, resulting in a net loss.
Guest: Yves Giroux. Parliamentary budget officer.
News Israel's war cabinet was briefed on Paris talks with mediators from Egypt, Qatar and the U.S. over a ceasefire deal in Gaza which would see the return of Israeli hostages held by Hamas, as well as the release of Palestinian prisoners being held in Israel. - Meanwhile in Tel Aviv police broke up a protest calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Two years ago today the Russian military was 24 hours into its invasion of Ukraine and experts were predicting a quick end and the fall of the Ukraine military and government. Today, the war continues increasingly difficult for Ukraine, but with Russia having suffered massive losses of soldiers killed or wounded, as well as huge losses in military equipment. Yesterday Prime Minister Trudeau in Kyiv committed to Canada's continued support for Ukraine.
