Before embarking on the final leg of his weeklong European tour, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland have a breakfast meeting at Berlin’s Bellevue Palace with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, before it’s wheels up for Warsaw, Poland, later this morning.

Back in Canada, New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh holds a mid-morning media availability outside Eagle Ridge Hospital in Port Moody, B.C., where he’ll highlight his party’s call to “strengthen our health-care system,” before joining local MP Bonita Zarrillo for a closed-door conversation with local health-care workers to “hear more about how the federal government can support them.” (1/2 PM)

Later this afternoon, he’ll meet with Vancouver Mayor — and one-time federal New Democrat MP — Kennedy Stewart, and end his day by joining Victoria MP Laurel Collins for a “telephone community town hall.”
