In this politics roundup, we first check in with the CBC's Aaron Wherry in the Alberta Rockies about the main takeaways from the G7 summit, which wrapped without Donald Trump after he left to deal with the escalating Israel-Iran conflict. 

Then, we speak to Toronto Star national columnist Althia Raj about C-5, an omnibus bill which is moving through parliament at breakneck speed. The bill's intent is to speed up approval for resource projects, but it's been panned by critics as dangerous and undemocratic.
