The (indiscernible) received a notice from alberta health services to shut down wednesday. Inspectors found water and debris from sewage backup on the floors and the basement kitchen as well as a dishwasher not working properly. The business was closed for around six hours before reopening thursday. Restaurant co-owner josh rob sin says a plumbing issue on the street outside is behind the problem which has caused sewage backup for a number of nearby businesses. Robinson self-isolation dealing with an A.H.S. closure is scary and the company takes food safety very seriously. >> I understand people's concern. It seems like the world is endings, and the whole restaurants in turmoil when you see something like that, a closure, and some infractions, it really is an university circumstance for us, due to this backup which is the reason we had other fractions which again we take full responsibility for. >> Workers arrived on site sunday to work on fixing the plumbing problem. >> The invasion order for fort nelson is is being lifted as of 8 A.M. tomorrow gentleman the concern for these next couple of days is going to be for the chance of thunderstorms developing in the area. >> 250,000 hectares are burning in the B.C. peace including the patriot creek fire and the parker lake fires burning near fort st.

You said earlier we're still at risk of thunderstorm activity. >> Yes, nice and clear around the fort McMURRAY wood buffalo region. 13° is our current temperature, late showers from and around the city, southwest winds at 5 so we'll run the risk of showers for the next four or five hours and then a possibility of seeing some thundershowers mixed in with that as well. >> Let's have a look across the country starting in victoria for tomorrow, 16° with cloudy skies, showers and 16 in and showers. 20 in saskatoon, 20 in regina and 16° in winnipeg with variable cloud. 21 in toronto and ottawa, both looking for showers tomorrow, same thing in montreal at 21°. 20 in thunder bay, 16 in timmins, 17 in sault ste. Marie, 21 in fredericton, 19 in charlottetown and 7° in St. John's for tomorrow. Here's a quick look at the national map, when we look at satellite and radar. Lots of little thunder and lightning storms going flew the prairies, from flew the south part of saskatchewan and again in northern ontario and down in southern ontario into quebec. Lots of activity going on. The good news is in alberta, anyway, most of those thunderstorms are accompanied by rain. So we're seeing showers. If there's any saving grace about it that's what it is.

The threat environment in which we're all functioning today is fundamentally different than it was three years ago, five years ago, ten years ago. Certainly at the time that the voluntary commitments to spend at least 2% of gtp on defence was entered into a decade ago. No doubt canada needs to spend more but that's not the U.S. government and the white house. I think the canadian cabinet believes that or would not have approved the defence policy update that was entered into. Whoosh seeing is the lead-up to the nato summit in july in the united states, and at the end of 2024, the way projections are looking canada will be the only country in nato that's not spending at least 2% of its G.D.P. on defence and does not have a plan to get that.
