A new law meant to protect supply management might not be enough to shield the system in trade talks with a Trump administration bent on eliminating it, trade experts say.

"It's certainly more difficult to strike a deal with the United States now with the passage of this bill that basically forces Canada to negotiate with one hand tied behind its back," said William Pellerin, a trade lawyer and partner at the firm McMillan LLP.

The Winnipeg Police Service says a missing 82-year-old man has been found.

The man was last seen in the area of Windsor Park in Winnipeg at approximately 1 a.m. on July 3.

A silver alert is issued when a senior or vulnerable person goes missing.

Confidence federal public servants have in their senior managers has fallen in recent years, a new survey suggests.

The 2024 Public Service Employee Survey said 55 per cent of public servants have confidence in senior management at their department or agency, down from 64 per cent in 2022 and 68 per cent in 2020.

Almost two-thirds of respondents in the new survey said senior managers in their department or agency model ethical behaviour.

Extreme heat is expected for southern Manitoba, including the City of Winnipeg in the coming days. 

At 3:17 p.m. on July 2, Environment Canada issued a heat warning for southern Manitoba. 

"A hot and humid air mass will move into southern Manitoba on Thursday with the most humid weather of the summer so far expected by Friday," the warning read. 

Relief is expected to come by Saturday as a cold front tracks through the province on Friday night.

Residents are reminded to drink water and keep blinds closed to help beat the heat. 

The former head of Manitoba Hydro was paid just over $881,000 last year, despite being dismissed six weeks into the year.

Jay Grewal's earnings in previous years, where she had worked a full year, ranged from $500,000 to $546,000.

The amount last year, revealed in an annual Manitoba Hydro compensation report, suggests a large lump sum payment when Grewal was let go as president and chief executive officer.
