Prime Minister Mark Carney will return to Washington to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday. The Pulse Panel discusses whether that's a signal that trade and security negotiations are nearing a conclusion — or just stalling out. Plus, Former parliamentary budget officer Kevin Page calls out interim PBO Jason Jacques for his warnings about a 'stupefying' and 'not sustainable' fiscal picture last week, saying the language is 'just wrong' and that Jacques needs to walk back the comments for the good of the office.

After announcing a new agency aimed at speeding up and diversifying defence spending, Secretary of State for Defence Procurement Stephen Fuhr denies that about three-quarters of Canada's defence spending goes to the U.S. because of a lack of Canadian manufacturing capacity, saying that Canada got 'lazy' with procurement by 'doing it a certain way all the time.' Plus, Coastal First Nations-Great Bear Initiative president Marilyn Slett explains why First Nations on B.C.'s north coast won't support Alberta's bitumen pipeline proposal 'now or ever.'

Alberta will develop and submit an application to the federal Major Projects Office for a bitumen pipeline to the northwest coast of British Columbia, Alberta Premier Daniella Smith announced on Wednesday. Smith joins Power & Politics to discuss how far Alberta is willing to take the project before a private proponent must take over, and how its possible for a pipeline to proceed amid objections in B.C. Plus, Minister of Artificial Intelligence Evan Solomon denies that Canada is falling behind on AI as he begins a '30-day sprint' to generate ideas for an updated national strategy, asking: 'How do we stay in front?'

Governor General Mary Simon reflects in a sit-down interview. Plus, Power & Politics asks Crown Indigenous Relations Minister Rebecca Alty if she thinks the government's major projects agenda collides with its path to reconciliation.
