Chris Hall is the CBC's National Affairs Editor and Host of the weekly political program, The House, on CBC Radio One and Sirius XM.

He arrived in the network's Parliamentary Bureau back in 1998 intending to stay for four years. He's still there, and loving every minute of it.

Chris began his career in print with the Ottawa Citizen before moving to the CBC. Over the years his reporting has taken him across Canada, with postings in Toronto, Halifax and St. John's. His work has been recognized with both print and broadcast awards, including an RTNDA in 2006 for in-depth reporting on how Canada had become a haven for pirated goods.

In addition to his duties on The House, Chris writes a regular analysis column for CBC.ca and files reports for both radio and television news. He also hosts a weekly podcast edition of the program every Wednesday and serves as a regular panelist on Power and Politics on CBC News Network.

When he's not pouring over budgets, going through proposed legislation or interviewing political players, Chris can usually be found talking baseball with anyone who'll listen.
