The federal leaders will take part in broadcast

00:00:07.820 --> 00:00:12.400
debates on April 16 and April 17, but there will

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.099
not be a third debate in this election campaign

00:00:15.099 --> 00:00:18.660
after the Liberals' Mark Carney said no to Quebec's

00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:22.280

00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.829

Clark now says she will not be running for the

00:00:28.449 --> 00:00:31.210
Liberals in this federal election. Sources say

00:00:31.210 --> 00:00:34.289
Clark had been trying to seek the party nod in

00:00:34.289 --> 00:00:38.630
at least two Surrey ridings. Other news, the

00:00:38.630 --> 00:00:41.530
U .S. flag will not be removed from the rafters

00:00:41.530 --> 00:00:44.990
at Queens Arena in Westminster. Mayor Patrick

00:00:44.990 --> 00:00:47.670
Johnstone was among those who voted against the

00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:50.619
proposal on Monday night. Last month, the U .S.

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.280
Council canceled all non -essential travel to

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.420
the U .S. and agreed to try to find Canadian

00:00:56.420 --> 00:01:01.159
alternatives to American purchases. A man has

00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.079
been arrested and released after a large fire

00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.299
at a strip mall in Surrey's Wally neighborhood.

00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.959
Several businesses have been damaged or destroyed

00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.060
after the fire broke out at the corner of 108

00:01:13.060 --> 00:01:17.079
Avenue and City Park Way at around 2 .30 Monday

00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:20.819
morning. No one was hurt. A five -year -old girl

00:01:20.819 --> 00:01:24.500
has recovered after overdosing on fentanyl in

00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:28.000
Mission last week. Paramedics and Mission Fire

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.120
Rescue were called to the home after the girl

00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.819
handled a jar containing the narcotic. RCMP say

00:01:34.819 --> 00:01:38.560
it serves as a reminder to keep narcotics out

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.719
of the reach of children. Rain in the forecast

00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.719
for Tuesday morning, clearing by the afternoon.

00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.519
