Liberals, Conservatives Talk Co-Operation but Trade Jabs as Parliament Returns

Parliament resumed on September 15, 2025, in Ottawa with Liberals holding 169 of 343 seats and facing opposition amid partisan attacks over housing and cost of living.
Prime Minister Mark Carney secured a minority mandate months ago on promises to end 10 years of stagnation, but he faces internal party challenges while opposition seeks to unsettle him.
Government House leader Steven MacKinnon outlined a Liberal agenda including a coming austerity budget needing opposition votes, while Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre criticized the government but pledged cooperation.
Polling shows 50 percent of Canadians rate Poilievre's election chances as poor, while many remain cautiously hopeful Carney can meet his commitments amid economic anxieties and housing pressures.
This session highlights fragile civil discourse and tests Carney’s government to convert announcements on housing and fiscal policy into swift execution to maintain public goodwill.
