MPs to vote on Canada’s first secret ballot, anger over Sears Canada liquidation sales, and Parliament Hill’s $5.6-million skating rink is staying open later than planned. Plus, what to expect if Prince Harry pops the question.
1. Historic vote: For the first time ever, MPs will vote in a secret ballot. It’s to decide whether to revive a private member’s bill.
2. Retail investigation: Sears Canada is under investigation by the Competition Bureau over allegations that prices on some merchandise were hiked before liquidation sales last month.
3. Rink rules: A $5.6-million skating rink on Parliament Hill won’t allow hockey sticks, cellphones or hot chocolate -- but it will stay open later than expected.
