Here is a roundup of stories from The Canadian Press designed to bring you up to speed on what you need to know today...While Canada is one of the top contributors to foreign aid among some of the world's richest countries, a fifth of the spending never leaves Canada's borders.

Canada ranks seventh for dollars spent on foreign aid, according to the OECD, a group of mostly rich countries.It shows Canada spent just over US$8 billion in aid last year, of which $1.5 billion went to supporting refugees, asylum claimants and Ukrainians who fled the Russian invasion, during their first year in Canada.Immigration Minister Marc Miller is expected to table legislation today that would extend citizenship to some children born outside of the country.

Those who've not had access to citizenship rights as a result of the amendments are known as"Lost Canadians." But months after the end of a lengthy strike that brought operations at one of Canada's largest cemeteries to a halt, Heffernan says she still can't get an answer on when the burials can take place, despite repeated efforts to reach management.

More than 60,000 children are registered as looking for services but as of the end of last year, about 14,000 had access to core therapy through the program.
