A reality check on Liberal pharmacare and housing promises | CAPITAL DISPATCH

What’s going on with the Liberal’s commitment to the NDP to introduce a bill on pharmacare? A headline the Conservatives weren’t looking for, thanks to a tense committee meeting over the new Google deal, and a check-in on the pressure campaign in the Senate over the carbon tax farm bill – CTV News’ Rachel Aiello breaks down what you need to know from a week of politicking on Parliament Hill.

Housing Minister Sean Fraser touting the federal government’s short-term rental crackdown is featured in Capital Dispatch’s Quote of the Week, with Rachel explaining that despite big talk during the fiscal update, the promise was absent from key legislation.

Finally, there are three likely news-making committee meetings coming up in Ottawa next week, Rachel explains what MPs will be talking about and what you should be watching for.
