Carney's Press Conference Promise: One Year Later

0:00It's April 29th. Welcome in. This is Canada News Today, where local news meets AI. Prime Minister Mark Carney just hit the one-year mark since winning the 2025 election, and it's also been a full year since his last. Formal press conference at the National Press Theatre on Parliament Hill. He promised to come back for regular scrums with reporters there, but that hasn't happened yet. Last month, the Parliamentary Press Gallery sent him a formal invite to return to the theatre in the Wellington Building, hoping to get those. In-person question sessions going again. Reporters are frustrated, pointing out this as a gab in openness after Carney ran on being more available to the media than his predecessors. He's insisting he's reachable around the clock through other channels, like bilateral meetings and phone calls, but the gallery says it's not the same. Without the open theatre format, with these milestones lining up, all eyes are on whether Carney schedules that returns soon to ease the tension.
