3rd & 7 37yd

Good morning
Michael Atkinson, who is the inspector general of the U.S. intelligence community, is expected to testify before lawmakers on his review of the whistleblower complaint that has led to investigations of whether President Donald Trump sought personal political gain by urging Ukraine to probe Democratic opponent Joe Biden.

Adam Schiff, the House intelligence committee's Democratic chairman, confirmed that Atkinson would appear, but the committee has been extremely tight-lipped about any details, refusing to disclose the time of his appearance.

Bio test

by Elizabeth Haggarty 10/4/2019 7:23:20 PM
So how does all this work?

Tonight’s debate will be divided into five segments, each focused on a particular theme:
- Affordability.
- Environment and energy.
- Indigenous issues.
- Leadership and Canada on the world stage.
- Polarization, human rights and immigration.
The segments will feature a question from an ordinary Canadian, a question from one of the five moderators, a question from one leader to another and then a period of leader-to-leader debate — which makes for an ambitious agenda to work through in a relatively short period of time, writes CBC’s J.P. Tasker.
