As Parliament reconvenes for the fall sitting, Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon said he hopes opposition parties will cooperate, while noting a “substantial” budget deficit will be presented to the House in the coming weeks.

MacKinnon, who manages the government’s agenda in the House of Commons, made comments about the budget and outlined the Liberals’ priorities on Sept. 15, shortly before MPs returned to their seats the same day.
