On Wednesday, national security and intelligence adviser Nathalie Drouin is scheduled to appear.

Several Liberal cabinet members, including Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, are also set to testify this week.

I’ve tried different betting platforms, but this one stands out due to the ease of use and the way it presents its bookmakers. It’s super convenient to get everything you need in one place, from odds to bonuses. The info at bookmakers-zm.com is clear and up to date, so I feel confident when I’m betting. It’s my go-to resource before any major game, and I haven’t been disappointed yet.
