Prime Minister Mark Carney says he’s not planning to hold a snap election to reach a majority as the House of Commons returns from holiday break.

Carney made the comment to reporters on Jan. 26 after the announcement of new affordability measures aimed to help Canadians with the cost of living, including an increase of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Credit.
