Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. December 19th, 2024

Yesterday, we delivered a damning report from the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario. It turns out that one-third of our schools are below a good repair state. Critics say these poor results boil down to a combination of student overcrowding and a lack of infrastructure updates. Kristy Cameron chats with Malaka Hendela, who is a former Co-Chair of the Ottawa-Carleton Assembly of School Councils. She is also the parent of a 13-year-old student at Glashan Public School. Meanwhile at Parliament Hill, the Trudeau Cabinet is about to get a major facelift, as Canada bares witness to a pre-Christmas cabinet shuffle. Plus, an Amazon strike is hitting a wide range of American cities and markets. CTV's Katie Griffin explains how it's affecting Canadian customers.
