WATCH LIVE AT 10:30 a.m. EST: CTV News special coverage of Zelensky's address

The special event is bringing officials back to Ottawa during a scheduled break in the session and guests have been invited and will be present inside the viewing galleries and in seats on the floor of the House.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who extended the invitation to Zelensky to address Parliament, will speak ahead of Zelensky.

After his address, Speaker of the Senate George Furey, Speaker of the House of Commons Anthony Rota, interim Conservative Leader Candice Bergen, Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-François Blanchet, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, and Green MP Elizabeth May will be given the opportunity to briefly respond.

The House’s hybrid sitting format remains in place, making it possible for both MPs and senators to participate remotely, though it is expected all those speaking will do so in-person.

Zelensky will be the third Ukrainian president to address Parliament, following his predecessor Petro Poroshenko’s 2014 address and Victor Yushchenko’s address in 2008.
