Each week, the Maclean’s politics team and Cormac MacSweeney sit down to hash out the week’s news in Ottawa. This week, Ottawa bureau chief John Geddes speaks with Bill Gates about global child and maternal health. We hear from Tory MP Roxanne James, the parliamentary secretary to the minister of public safety, on Bill C-51. Ontario Education Minister Liz Sandals talks about her government’s new sex ed curriculum. And our politics panel talks about some of that, as well as Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s surprising underdog status in the polls.
