Story summary

Prime Minister Mark Carney, addressing his Liberal caucus on Friday, announced plans for significant economic legislation and policies to reduce costs for Canadians when Parliament resumes its fall sitting on Monday. The Prime Minister returned from a high-profile trip to Strasbourg, France, where he addressed the European Parliament and discussed forming an alliance with the 27-country European Union, aiming to lessen Canada’s dependence on the United States.

Carney's government is set to introduce bills that include extending relief for the excise tax on fuel and introducing new budgetary measures. The Liberals now hold a majority of 173 seats in Parliament following recent byelections and floor-crossers, giving them greater control over legislative priorities despite opposition from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.

The trade war with the United States remains a key focus as MPs return, alongside debates on EU ties and domestic economic issues. Public opinion largely supports Carney's international approach but concerns remain about affordability and cost of living for Canadians.
