As the country debates its biggest issues in a Federal Election, World Questions hears from people across Canada as they put the questions that matter most to a panel of politicians from the main parties.
The Panel:
Nate Erskine-Smith – Minister for Housing, Liberal Party
Kate Harrison – Vice Chair of Summa Strategies, Conservative strategist
Stéphane Bergeron – Former Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, Bloc Quebecois
Heather McPherson – Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, New Democratic Party
This edition of World Questions was recorded on 8 April 2025, a day before President Trump announced a three-month delay to implementing many of the planned tariffs, including the 25% charge on Canadian goods crossing into the US.
