On this week's Friday Round Table from the Covent Garden Market studio, Craig is joined by former London city councillor Mariam Hamou, political insider Ryan Gauss and London Home Builders Association CEO Jared Zaifman.

They talked about Jagmeet Singh's talk about rent controls when visited London and how the city is navigating the housing crisis.

Then, a discussion about a program for low income women being saved by a major donation, the embarrassing mess (for all involved) at the Status of Women committee in Ottawa and the news that local MP Karen Vecchio is leaving politics - along with the announcement of Craig's former colleague Andrew Lawton running to replace her.
