MPs have started their 12-week summer break.
Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty says the recent session of Parliament was a roller coast of success for him.
"There have been highs. There have been lows," says Rafferty. "The whole session was highlighted by Conservative mismanagement, fiscal mismanagement and Liberal ineffectiveness."
Rafferty was happy that his private member's bill on workers pensions was able to reach the committee level and expects it to come back for a final vote in the fall.
