Politics This Morning: Canada prepares to host UN conference as doubts linger about visasGood Friday morning, Prime Minister JUSTIN TRUDEAU will be in Vancouver today to meet with new British Columbia Premier DAVID EBY. Trudeau and Eby will join Families Minister KARINA GOULD for a press conference to highlight the child care agreement between B.C. and Ottawa.

Meanwhile, advocates point to systemic problems within the visa system, which could also affect this month’s biodiversity conference.
