3:00 p.m. Last Thursday, up to 3,000 barrels of oil spilled into a tributary of the Red Deer River, one of Alberta's most popular waterways. Some farming land appears to be devestated, while drinking water continues to see improvements. Canadian Press reporter Bob Webber tells us what happened and how this mess is being fixed. 

3:30 p.m. Too close for comfort, or just a sensitive nose? Perfumes and colognes can sometimes be banned at the workplace or other environments for being too strong. Richard and Bronwyn discuss the scent boundary. 

4:00 p.m. Members of Parliament are in for a lengthy voting period on the omnibus budget implementation bill today. With several hundred amendments, the passing of the bill may not happen for a few more days. Globe and Mail reporter Gloria Galloway explains just how this time consuming procedure will work.

4:30 p.m. Round Table - Murray Wood joins Richard and Bronwyn on the round table.

5:00 p.m. More than a year after devestating floods, southern Saskatchewan is still getting soaked. The province has seen plenty of rain the last few weeks, and that hasn't helped either. Geoff Hewson, a farmer near Langbank, tells us how difficult life continues to be.

5:30 p.m. Bullying isn't limited to the schoolyard, it continues into the summer too. "SafetyWeb" helps with that by automatically monitoring a child's online activities and immediately red-flags for parents any and all potential problems. Ken Chaplin, Senior VP with Experian Consumer Direct, explains how this program can keep kids protected during the summer months.
