As It Happens - Thursday Edition

Part One

Phoenix pay problems
The payroll system called Phoenix shows no signs of rising from the ashes, as thousands of federal employees experience problems with their cheques -- or get no cheques at all.

In 2012, she won bronze -- but now that it turns out the medalists ahead of her were doping, Christine Girard may yet win the first-ever Canadian gold in weightlifting.

Part Two
