The dismissal of candidate Raj Saini due to misconduct allegations continues to follow Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau on the campaign trail. Saini, who was seeking re-election in the riding of Kitchener Centre, exited the campaign Saturday, amid allegations of inapproriate behaviour toward his staffers, and after the party initially backed him. As Abigail Bimman reports, Trudeau did offer up one new tidbit about what prompted Saini's departure, but didn't say much else.

Meanwhile, being dogged by questions over his vague stance on gun control, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole now says his party will uphold the Liberal's 2020 assault style weapon ban, despite his platform pledging to repeal it. As Mike Le Couteur explains, the last-minute flip flop could be in response to opponents' weaponizing O'Toole's lack of clarity.

And campaigning in Ottawa, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh says Canada is in urgent need of a national vaccine passport, as the country grapples with the fourth wave of COVID-19. As Matt Bingley explains, Singh is also seeking a rare moment of political unity from his competition, to help spread the message on vaccines.
