Thanks for reading Ottawa Playbook. Today, ZI-ANN LUM reports on the Freeland-Yellen get-together in Toronto. We have news on NORAD and the latest on the hybrid House. Plus, NICK TAYLOR-VAISEY drops names after CHRIS HALL’s farewell at The Met. And MAURA FORREST has the latest on the politics of plastic.

THE F WORD — Deputy Prime Minister CHRYSTIA FREELAND rolled up to her bilat with U.S. Treasury Secretary JANET YELLEN on her bike before swapping a black tee and pants for a three-piece blue blazer set.

Freeland and Yellen met inside a converted exhibit space in Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum on Monday. They were flanked by displays of glittering metal artifacts, swapping notes on major economic influences facing both the U.S. and Canada: Global inflation, critical minerals, energy security, Russia and friend-shoring.

— Yellen’s definition: “Friend-shoring is the idea that countries that espouse a common set of values about international trade, conduct in the global economy should trade and get the benefits of trade so we have multiple sources of supply and are not reliant excessively on sourcing critical goods from countries where we have geopolitical concerns.”

— Translation: Russian President VLADIMIR PUTIN’s war in Ukraine made western economies realize they don’t like relying on Russia and China.

— The challenge: Redrawing trade relations in the name of friend-shoring is long-term work that will be costly. Inflation and rising food and energy prices are also driving the cost of living around the world. Incumbent governments are under pressure to find solutions now, which is setting the tone of political debate in the U.S. and Canada.

Both Freeland and Yellen brought their A-teams, kinda. A government official tells Playbook they chose the ROM as the venue for bilat talks partly because they wanted to show off the city — plus, it’s in Freeland’s riding.

But even the best-laid plans have twists (#pandemic). Some A-team bilat talk members got knocked out by Covid, prompting some last-minute subs.

— The final seating chart on Freeland’s side of the table: The DPM’s chief of staff LESLIE CHURCH, Canada’s ambassador to the U.S. KIRSTEN HILLMAN, Deputy Finance Minister MICHAEL SABIA and her DComm ALEX LAWRENCE.

Representing Team U.S.A. with Yellen: Deputy assistant secretary for banking CRAIG RADCLIFFE, U.S. Ambassador to Canada DAVID COHEN and international economist and senior adviser JAKE OWENS.

— Hanging question: Freeland mentioned off the cuff to a Toronto business crowd following the bilat that “new institutions” may be needed to help navigate a new era of economic and geopolitical uncertainties. She offered no specifics.

Setting the stage for next week’s G-7 meeting in Germany, Yellen teased future news on a potential price cap on Russian oil to further starve Putin’s coffers as talks continue with Canadian and other international partners.

She told reporters, “Stay tuned.”

— The gifts: Freeland's crew knew Yellen was an avid rock collector, so gifted the secretary a piece of limestone from Centre Block with a maple leaf carved into it. The Canadians also gave her a French edition of a book written by her husband, Nobel laureate GEORGE AKERLOF, ordered from a Montreal bookstore.

NEXT-GEN NORAD — Canada's enemies and allies all know at least one thing to be true. NORAD's North Warning System, which dates to the end of the Cold War, is obsolete.

That was the backdrop for Defense Minister ANITA ANAND's Monday announcement of C$4.9 billion in spending over six years on a variety of continental defense initiatives, including four surveillance systems designed to detect and deter ultra-fast hypersonic missiles.

As she spoke, Anand was backed by a fighter jet and transport aircraft — and flanked by the chief of the defense staff, Gen. WAYNE EYRE, and NORAD deputy commander Lieut.-Gen. ALAIN PELLETIER. Notably absent was JUSTIN TRUDEAU, who's still working remotely after testing positive for Covid last week.

— New or nah? Anand initially stressed that this was new money, over and above the C$252 million committed to NORAD and Arctic security in Budget 2021, and Budget 2022's C$8-billion injection of defense spending spread over five years. But her office later clarified that it wasn't new money, and was baked into the most recent budget. Clear as mud.

What was clear: Anand's audience wasn't reaaaally the journalists in front of her and any curious Canadians watching at home. This was, at least in part, a signal to the other half of NORAD south of the border.

— The backstory: Last summer, then-defense minister HARJITSAJJAN and U.S. Defense Secretary LLOYD AUSTIN released a joint statement on NORAD modernization","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/news/2021/08/joint-statement-on-norad-modernization.html","_id":"00000181-8901-d29c-abb9-8b8bbd4f0001","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"00000181-8901-d29c-abb9-8b8bbd4f0002","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">joint statement on NORAD modernization that laid out priorities in broad strokes.

Two weeks ago, Anand joined Trudeau at NORAD HQ in Colorado for a tour and classified briefings. Austin was there, too.

Anand's Monday announcement comes just a week before Trudeau heads to the NATO Summit in Madrid, where his office says discussions will include "ongoing and future transatlantic security threats and challenges."

One of the predictable elephants in the room at these gatherings is Canada's lackluster per capita defense spending.

— The commitment: The fancy new tech is called "over-the-horizon" radar. The binational alliance will use one system to track threats between the Canada-U.S. border and the Arctic Circle, and another to keep an eye on Arctic islands and beyond.

A third system, called "Crossbow," will add sensors in northern Canada. Anand would only say that particular network would employ "classified capabilities." NORAD will also take advantage of space-based surveillance.

— The timeline: Uncertain. Anand didn't offer clarity on when the North Warning System would be replaced, only insisting that a C$600-million maintenance contract would have to do for now. But in an interview with CP, NORAD deputy commander Lieut.-Gen. ALAIN PELLETIERadmitted the gaps in surveillance","link":{"target":"NEW","attributes":[],"url":"https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/canada-investing-4-9-billion-to-modernize-north-american-defences-1.5954312","_id":"00000181-8901-d29c-abb9-8b8bbd4f0003","_type":"33ac701a-72c1-316a-a3a5-13918cf384df"},"_id":"00000181-8901-d29c-abb9-8b8bbd4f0004","_type":"02ec1f82-5e56-3b8c-af6e-6fc7c8772266"}">admitted the gaps in surveillance.

"The reality right now is that long-range aviation has an ability to launch cruise missiles outside of the North Warning System's detection range," he said.

SETTLE YOUR BETS — Anyone in your office pool who guessed the House will sit until the end of the June calendar will take home the big bucks. Government House Leader MARK HOLLAND said he anticipates needing every minute available before adjourning until September.

— The traditional griping: Holland gathered journalists for an end-of-session check-in on the Liberal legislative agenda. His Conservative counterpart, JOHNBRASSARD, followed suit with his own media availability.

Holland accused Tories of using obstructionary tactics 17 times in 14 weeks. "C-8 took months to get through where we waited and we waited and waited for that obstruction to end," he complained.

The Conservatives voted against the government 45 out of 51 times, he added — to which every Tory in the House would likely reply: "Uh, yeah. So?"

At his own presser, Brassard fired back that Liberals had moved 16 time allocation motions on government bills. He reminded journalists that New Democrats, who insist they maintain an adversarial relationship with Liberals, still sided with them 95 percent of the time.

— The final debate: Expect a last hurrah of House theatrics after Holland tables a motion that would extend hybrid measures another year — and then run out the clock debating it.

Brassard in a word: unimpressed. He told reporters that hybrid sittings have run their course, and Liberals have presented no evidence to justify extending them. "There's no reason we can't flip a switch" in the case of a new Covid variant, he said.

The Tory House leader added that voting app malfunctions have disrupted proceedings, and he complained that translators have suffered health issues due to poor audio quality in the House and at committee.

— An olive branch: Holland committed to having a full front bench in-person for QP. "I was in opposition for a long time and I understand very well that accountability is essential, and the ability to pose questions in question period and get answers in-person is extraordinarily important," he said.

Not good enough, said Brassard. MPs are elected to go to Ottawa. They should go there.

— How the vote will go: New Democrats will side with the government, so hybrid sittings will almost certainly run well into 2023.

Brassard will introduce amendments to Holland's motion, which he says are reasonable. New office pool: What are the odds the other parties agree?

PLASTIC WASTE — As Environment Minister STEVEN GUILBEAULT declared Monday, a ban on making six single-use plastic items — bags, straws, cutlery, takeout containers, stir sticks and ring carriers — will be in place by the end of this year. That’s a mere three and a half years after Prime Minister JUSTIN TRUDEAU first announced his intent to ban single-use plastics.

The ban isn’t nothing — Guilbeault estimated it will reduce plastic waste by 1.3 million metric tons over the next decade. But he also illustrated the scale of the challenge the Liberals are up against with their promise to eliminate plastic waste by 2030, telling reporters that just eight percent of the plastic produced in Canada each year is recycled.

— To wit: It’s taken three years to tackle what is clearly the lowest-hanging fruit when it comes to plastic waste — six items that are easily replaced with other materials. The Liberals’ other policies, which include requiring plastic packaging to contain 50 percent recycled material by 2030 and creating a public registry of plastics produced in Canada, are in much earlier stages of development.
