Newcomers, the North and Stephen Harper: how federal politics mattered this week
Governor General Julie Payette takes part in her first official ceremony as she presents Awards in Commemoration of the Persons Case, at Rideau Hall, the official residence of the Governor General of Canada, in Ottawa on October 19, 2017.
