Good morning. Today we start with a look at leadership changes at two federal investment agencies. More on that below, along with the goings-on at a meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bankers, Brayden Bushby’s parole and a greenhouse gas emissions lawsuit.

Former banker Doug Guzman is expected to depart as head of Canada’s newly created Defence Investment Agency after only a year on the job, two sources say. It is not known whether Prime Minister Mark Carney will ask Guzman, a close personal friend, to take on another government role.

The details: The sources told The Globe and Mail that Guzman was frustrated by the slow pace of government bureaucracy in getting defence procurement projects moving and approved. The Globe is not naming the sources, who were not authorized to discuss the matter.

Another move: Ottawa is also overhauling the leadership of Invest in Canada, appointing private equity executive Gurinder Grewal as chief executive officer and former consultant and diplomat Dominic Barton as board chair.

U.S. ​Treasury ​Secretary Scott ‌Bessent said he plans to meet with his Canadian counterpart at this week’s gathering of G20 central bank governors and finance ministers in Asheville, N.C. The G20 gathering began yesterday and continues today.

He said: Bessent said Prime Minister Mark Carney was offered “the best trade deal of any country on the globe,” and he chose to walk away. “How are we going to be at war with Canada? What are they going to do, take their two-cent submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sic them on us?” he asked.

She said: Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said in a statement she will be travelling this week to join a meeting of EU foreign affairs ministers. She said her attendance, the first by a Canadian foreign minister, will help set the stage for a Canada-EU Leaders’ Summit scheduled for late October in Canada.

Meanwhile: The leaders of China, Russia and India gathered with other heads of state in Kyrgyzstan for a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a group billed as a counterweight to U.S. global influence.

Family members of Barbara Kentner, an Indigenous woman who died after an attack fuelled by hatred, say they want an explanation for why they weren’t told of a decision to give the man who killed her full parole earlier this month. Brayden Bushby served only five years of an eight-year sentence for manslaughter.

On the ground: Indigenous leaders joined Connie and Melissa Kentner, Barbara’s sisters, on Parliament Hill to call for a review of the Parole Board of Canada’s decision. “There are families who are asking themselves whether the justice system will protect them and whether their voices will matter if something happens to them,” Connie said.

The federal Liberals won three by-elections on Monday – one in Ontario, and another in what was expected to be a tight three-way race in Quebec, where the seat was previously held by a Conservative. The final by-election, in the riding of North Vancouver-Capilano, was also an easy win for the Liberals.

The victories in all three ridings bolstered the government’s slim majority in the House of Commons, as additional by-elections loom after the recent departures of several MPs.
