A coalition of veterans groups and accountability advocates is set to descend on the precinct this morning to call attention to what they describe as “another failed Liberal campaign promise.”

According to the advisory, representatives from the Veterans Accountability Commission, VeteransVoice.info, Democracy Watch and the Canadian Soldiers Assistance Team will explain why, in their view, the Liberal government “thinks veterans don’t deserve democracy […] nor an education” during a mid-morning appearance on the main stage of the Centre Block press theatre.

The press conference is set to take place just a few hours before Veterans Affairs Minister Seamus O’Regan is scheduled to join visiting Belgian royals King Philippe and Queen Mathilde for a special First World War commemoration ceremony at the Canadian War Museum, with Canadian veterans expected to make up a sizeable portion of the audience.

ALSO ON & AROUND THE HILL

The Canadian Club of Ottawa hosts a panel discussion with “women executives” Gillian Riley (Scotia Bank), Francoise Gagnon (ADBA Group Consultants) and Christyn Cianfarani (CADSI), which will be moderated by iPolitics’ own Sally Douglas.

Later this morning, Statistics Canada will share the details of the 2016 Canadian Income Survey, as well as fresh data on imports.

OUTSIDE THE PRECINCT

Status of Women Minister Maryam Monsef takes the stage at the UN Commission of the Status of Women, where she has back-to-back speaking slots throughout the day on various topics, including the Women Deliver initiative, preventing gender-based violence and “empowering rural women and girls.”

Back in Canada, Employment Minister Patty Hajdu returns to her home riding of Thunder Bay, where she’ll meet with “local female leaders” to discuss how the latest federal budget will “promote women in the workplace.”

Finally, New Democrat MP Charlie Angus will show his support for Ste. Anne’s Residential School survivors at a noon-hour rally outside the Ontario Superior Court in Toronto, which is currently hearing arguments on claims that the federal government withheld evidence that would have revealed “widespread abuse and torture of children at the school.”
