Where can I find schedules for visiting foreign dignitaries? Karzai is here for three days but all I can find out about his visit is an address to Parliament this morning.

Also.. Is there a live audio feed from parliament over the internet?

I've tried to look in some obvious places but am coming up empty.

Thanks

Link to House of Commons webcasts... Still looking for audio-only though..

On a related bump-note.. I saw a Canadian politician (not sure which one) in a motorcade last night turning left onto Sussex from Wellington. WEhile not that rare to see, this politician or dignitary picked his nose while I was pulled up beside him. The rest of his face was obscured but the lines of the car and my view...

Link I gave has about 8 different webcasts / audio feeds. pretty cool

Hmm I don't know if they release that information anywhere but then again I never really looked for it. The Whips office sends out a notice letting us know that someone is coming a few weeks before so that we can try to make sure that the Members are present. The Speaker of the House might have a reception for the guest in his quarters but that would not be open to the public.

Thanks... From DFAIT's page and the PMO page there is a little bit of info... Karzai is off to Montreal at some point... Trying to get a friend at DFAIT to get some info, but I don't think it will work. If they wanted the schedule public they would have released it.

Good speech he's giving so far.
