Article content

The Liberal government rammed through several pieces of legislation before the House of Commons rose last Thursday. Among them was Bill C-22, the government’s police search powers legislation, and Bill C-9, the Liberals’ anti-hate bill, both which have been the subject of contentious debate with opposition parties.

Article content

Carney has also faced criticism for his lack of attendance at question period, a daily 45-minute segment in the House of Commons that allows opposition MPs to hold the prime minister and his cabinet members to account on key issues.

Article content

The Liberal government currently holds a majority of seats, but with the departures of several MPs, the House of Commons will be short six seats this fall.

Article content

Some of the main issues Carney faces over the summer months include the review of the Canada-United-States-Mexico-Agreement (CUSMA), the Alberta referendum and proposed pipeline to British Columbia’s coast and Canada’s economy.

The press conference begins at 11:15 a.m. ET.
