Politics This Morning: Hogan reveals audits on homelessness, CBCGood Tuesday morning, It’s a hectic time to be on Parliament Hill—or at the Bank of Canada. More on the latter, later. We’ll start with Auditor General KAREN HOGAN, who is releasing four of her office’s performance audits today, as well as another three reports examining Crown corporations, including the CBC. Hogan’s reports will likely be tabled in the House of Commons at around 10 a.m. An hour later, Hogan will hold a press conference at the downtown Sir John A.

The fourth report scrutinized Indigenous Services Canada’s emergency management support to First Nations. The AG is also releasing special reports on the CBC, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority, and the corporation that manages Montreal’s Jacques Cartier Bridge.
