In his first news conference since one Conservative MP defected to the Liberals and another said he would resign, a reporter asked leader Pierre Poilievre if the departures say anything about his leadership or if they have prompted him to reflect on his leadership style. The Power Panel dissects Poilievre's answer: 'no.' CBC's Kate McKenna reports on six projects that will be on Prime Minister Mark Carney's second list of major projects on Thursday, according to CBC News sources. Plus, Kaja Kallas, vice-president of the European Commission, tells David Cochrane why she believes the EU must change to reflect a dissolving global order or risk irrelevance.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced new details on Monday about his government's 'Buy Canadian' policy to ensure federal dollars are spent on Canadian suppliers — but in the process, also revealed that the second batch of projects selected for fast tracking through the Major Projects Office will be announced on Thursday.
