    • A Parliamentary committee has recommended that a hybrid House continue, with members working from their non-Ottawa homes permanently.

    💸 City Budget

    • Kitchissippi resident Mayor Mark Sutcliffe says the budget review is not personal. Sutcliffe says that every City service will be subject to review and nothing will be kept simply because it's old, nor will a service be cut if it is needed. Council will discuss the service review plan March 1. (Taylor Blewett in the Ottawa Citizen)
