Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to convene the Incident Response Group in Ottawa today to discuss the ongoing wildfire situation across the country.

Carney also convened the group of ministers and senior officials a little over a month ago in response to an earlier wave of wildfires, which peaked in May and June, then receded, and have now flared up again.

More than 6,000 people are currently out of their homes in Manitoba, and the communities of Lynn Lake and Snow Lake ordered residents to flee for the second time in just weeks.

The Conservatives want Prime Minister Mark Carney to sell all the assets in his blind trust to avoid any possible conflicts of interest.

Carney set up the blind trust after he was sworn in as prime minister in March and the details of how it works were made public on Friday.

The latest Labour Force Survey from Statistics Canada, released on Friday, gave an update on the employment situation in southeast Saskatchewan. The data, which covers the entire Regina-Moose Mountain economic region, along with Weyburn itself, shows some shifts in the local labour market in recent months.  

It's a key element in batteries for electric vehicles and consumer electronics, used in everything from glass and ceramics to pharmaceuticals. And according to one company, a massive deposit of this critical mineral, lithium, sits right here in southeast Saskatchewan. 

New findings from the Canadian Social Survey show that while people in Saskatchewan are more hopeful about the future than the average Canadian, they currently report lower levels of life satisfaction and a weaker sense of purpose.
