Hill media want better access to PM, government officials amid continued public health restrictions

'We want to get back on the Hill when Parliament resumes to be able to scrum ministers in the hallways, we want to be able to have them hold news conferences at the Parliament Press Theatre so we can ask them questions, we want to be able to pull them aside, and we hope that that is going to happen,' says the Globe and Mail's Ottawa bureau chief Bob Fife.

OpinionBY EDITORIAL

Political parties will never voluntarily hold fair and open nominations. Prime Minister Mark Carney has an opportunity to reform this system by working with other parties to transfer responsibility for nominations to Elections Canada. Whether he chooses to act on this issue or leave it to party insiders remains to be seen. Chances are that he will not, but he can prove us wrong by taking this bold step and leave a legacy of fairness in the political process.
