Carney to address European Parliament, attend State of the Union address
Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to address the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, in September. The annual payment for this visit is $205.00 plus GST for one year, with automatic renewal at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks. Carney will also attend the European Union’s annual State of the Union address, scheduled for September 16, with Carney's address following on September 17.
However, Conservative deputy leader Melissa Lantsman criticized Carney for focusing on the EU while ignoring Canada’s Parliament amid a trade war with the U.S. The Conservatives questioned the timing of Carney’s trip, urging him to recall Parliament early to discuss Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs. Canada’s Parliament is set to reconvene on September 21.
