Episode Synopsis

This week we look at legalized recreational marijuana-the law goes in effect October 17th, what lies ahead and what is the federal government planning for a price on pot.  Then, NAFTA talks are set to resume this summer, the tariff tiff escalates--we'll assess Canada-U.S. relations.  And MPs have gone home for the summer, what were some of the big achievements this past year and what will be on their priority list this fall.

Guests: Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Health Minister; Christopher Sands, Johns Hopkins University; Tonda MacCharles, Toronto Star; Josh Wingrove, Bloomberg News
