MPs Return as Carney Pushes EU Ties, New Bills and Byelections
Carney is expected to advance a Canada-EU alliance, new project-review and labour bills, and several byelections as the Liberals hold a majority.
- On Monday, Members of Parliament return to Parliament Hill for the fall sitting of the House of Commons, addressing the federal budget, new legislation, and upcoming byelections.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney will table the Building Canada Strong Act this fall to accelerate federal project approvals, following the mantra: 'One project, one review, one year.'
- Carney plans to balance the operating budget by next year, 12 months ahead of schedule, while deepening ties with the 27 countries in the European Union after addressing the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France.
- Six more byelections are set for the coming months in Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec to fill vacancies left by former minister Steven Guilbeault and Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay.
- Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner expressed concern that closer European ties could 'import' their 'migrant crisis to Canada,' while trade talks with the United States remain stalled as the Trump administration focuses on midterm elections.
