Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be landing in London later today.

Trudeau, Governor General Mary Simon and four former prime ministers are part of a Canadian delegation who will attend Monday's funeral for Queen Elizabeth the Second.

Security is high in London as world leaders begin to arrive for the funeral that's expected to draw hundreds of thousands of people to the city.

Streets around the Palace of Westminster have been blocked off with metal barricades today, with police officers from across the UK directing the crowd waiting to pay their respects to the late queen.

It's expected those now in line will have to wait 24 hours.

Federal government tightens return-to-office rules for public servants

The federal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney has issued updated return-to-office requirements that will see most public servants spending more time working on-site each week. According to a notice from the Treasury Board, the changes will be introduced in phases. Executives will be required to work from the office five days a week starting May 4, while all other federal employees must report to the workplace at least four days per week beginning July 6.

The decline marks the first monthly drop in employment since late summer and signals renewed pressure in key sectors tied to trade and construction. The manufacturing and construction industries experienced the sharpest losses, with economists pointing to ongoing trade uncertainty and U.S. tariff pressures as contributing factors. Private-sector employment and part-time work were particularly affected, while women
