US infrastructure bill inches through the Senate
The senate is slowly approaching passing the $1 trillion bill
The US senate is slowly moving toward passing a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. We'll hear from a farmer directly affected, and then the former governor of Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell, on why the bipartisan bill is so important. Also in the programme, an upcoming UN report is expected to give the global community a stark warning about the dangers of accelerating climate change. Harpreet Kaur Paul of the University of Warwick's Law School explains why the report should be a wake-up call to businesses. And as Canada opens up again to international travel, Royce Mendes of CIBC Capital Markets in Toronto outlines the challenges the Canadian economy still faces.
