It was already an eventful day at the G7 before we learned last night that U.S. president Donald Trump was leaving early.

In terms of what was accomplished today, there's word of potential trade deal between Canada and the U.S. to be worked out in the next 30 days. How did Carney do at his first G7 as PM? And what else happened behind the scenes?

ICYMI: Understanding the measles outbreak and what’s truly at stake 23:43

منذ 11 يومًا23:43

23:43

We are revisiting this episode of The Big Story from March, as we learned this week, an infant died this week in Southwestern Ontario, who was born premature and infected with measles. In a statement, Dr. Kieran Moore said the infant contracted the virus before birth from their mother, who had not received the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. However it's important added that while measles may have been a contributing factor in both the premature birth and death, the infant also faced “other serious medical complications unrelated to the virus.” Officials are still calling it a "preventable crisis". The highly contagious viral infection was considered eliminated in 1998 in Canada and in 2000 in the U.S., but a number of factors have contributed to its recent resurgence. Host Melanie Ng speaks with Sabina Vohra-Miller, @unambiguousscience, a Doctor of Public Health candidate and expert in clinical pharmacology and toxicology, about this issue.

Interest rates weren't cut this week. Why? Well, it's complicated. The Bank of Canada didn't give borrowers a break when it set policy on Wednesday, as Tiff Macklem cited the need to wait for more data points. The word "uncertainty" is being thrown around, although ironically, the economy was actually stronger in the first quarter than forecast. Host Mike Eppel speaks to experts about the lack of a cut and what that means for the market, home buyers and home owners.

Behind the scenes of this week's First Ministers' meeting from someone who's been at the table 20:27

منذ 14 يومًا20:27

20:27

Prime Minister Mark Carney held his first meeting with Premiers since the election and by most accounts it was a big success, with Ontario’s Doug Ford claiming it was the best in 10 years. The 14 leaders discussed the federal plan to fast track nation building projects and despite some rhetoric in advance of the gathering, even Alberta was encouraged about the path ahead. But will a new pipeline become a reality, can premiers expect federal funds to match their projects, was it a mistake to not have Indigenous leaders at the table, and what may be the challenges ahead? Host Cormac Mac Sweeney tries to get answers and insight from former Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.
