How's the Commons Committee holding a special meeting today on the Gordie Howe Bridge as Ottawa faces questions about revenue sharing.

Police in Halton have arrested nine people, including a mom and her four children, and recovered luxury cars, jewelry and drugs in a human trafficking investigation.

Police say they identified 12 people who are subjected to commercial sexual exploitation over an extended period of time.
