As Parliament returns, focus is on the U.S. trade war, new EU ties and cost of living
OTTAWA — Parliament will get back to work Monday after a three-month break, with the trade war with the United States and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s move to formalize closer ties with the European Union top of mind.
Parliament returns to work on Monday, with focus on U.S. trade war, EU ties, and cost of living concerns. Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasizes lowering costs for Canadians and defending sovereignty. Carney visited Europe, where EU President Ursula von der Leyen floated the idea of Canada becoming the first "associate member" of the EU.
Carney's government may introduce legislation to streamline infrastructure reviews, known as the Building Canada Strong Act, and labor code reforms to reduce strike intervention. The Liberals are returning with a slim majority, but face potential criticism from the Conservatives on economic and living cost issues.
