OTTAWA – MPs return to the House of Commons today as Prime Minister Mark Carney has signalled the fall budget’s deficit will be bigger than last year’s — partly because of U.S. tariffs and the government’s response.
The prime minister did not cite a specific dollar figure for the projected deficit during a news conference in Ottawa Sunday.
Budget issues will likely be a key topic when Carney squares off against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for the first time in the daily question period.
Poilievre is returning to the House of Commons after winning a seat in an Alberta byelection last month; that follows a defeat in his longtime Ottawa-area riding in April’s general election.
Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon is set to outline the Liberal government’s fall priorities this morning.
The minority government’s legislative agenda includes a controversial border security bill that will require opposition support to pass.
