MONTREAL - Quebec party leaders are gearing up for their third and final debate of the provincial election campaign in the evening. The debate will be hosted by Radio-Canada at 8 p.m. and will feature all five party leaders.

In recent years Nugent-Hopkins has centred the Oilers' second line or played the wing with superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Previous coaches have never settled on how to play McDavid and Draisaitl, so Nugent-Hopkins's versatility has been even more important.

Demolition work is underway at the former Farmers Market building in downtown Grande Prairie. The work is expected to take three weeks, with traffic along the laneway between 102 Avenue and 101 Ave operating as one-way.

In November of last year, an overnight fire at the Market caused damage beyond repair.

The Liberals are proposing to install a special mediator who would document both sides' arguments and publish a report to identify where the sticking points are in a labour dispute before talks break down. Hajdu says making that report public would help put the responsibility for reaching a deal back on the parties and reduce the need for the government to get involved.

The interim leader of British Columbia's Conservatives says they are united and ready to fight an Oct. 24 election, putting the chaotic final weeks of Kerry-Lynne Findlay's leadership behind them.

"That's not something I'm considering," Michel said on Tuesday. The minister said she agrees the illicit market is an issue. Pouches from brands like Zyn, from Philip Morris, are entering Canada and studies show they're making their way into the hands of Canadian youth despite the rules. Flory Doucas, co-director of the Quebec Coalition for Tobacco Control, said there's not enough serious enforcement to control illicit sales, which are happening both online and in storefronts.
