Nova Scotia's Justice Department is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information about the disappearance of two young children in May.

The province's justice minister issued a statement today saying the disappearance on May 2 of six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and her four-year-old brother Jack is being felt across the province and beyond.

Becky Druhan says investigators are working tirelessly to find answers.

She is urging anyone with information to share it with the RCMP.

The Mounties started a missing persons investigation after they received a report that the two children had wandered away from their rural home in Lansdowne Station, N.S., a heavily wooded area 140 kilometres northeast of Halifax.

The province says the reward amount will depend on the investigative value of the information.

B.C.'s 2024 deficit comes in under forecast at $7.3B

British Columbia's final deficit for the fiscal year has come in at $7.3 billion, $564 million lower than the original projected number in Budget 2024. The final deficit is also about $1.8 billion lower than the most recent third-quarter forecast. Finance Minister Brenda Bailey says B.C. was able to report a lower-than-projected deficit largely due to revenue from the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia.

Poilievre says of B.C. Premier Eby that 'one man can't block' pipeline proposal

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Canadians, including British Columbians, want a new oil pipeline and Premier David Eby can't be allowed as one man to block the project. Poilievre says the country can't wait for complete agreement on the idea, calling it a "basic fact" that a new pipeline is needed. Eby has repeatedly said there's no point discussing or supporting a pipeline that is being pushed by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and others, until there is a proponent for such a project. Poilievre, speaking in Calgary, says that's a "chicken and egg problem," because the reason there's
