Queen's Park Resumes


The long-summer break for provincial politicians end's today.

MPP's are back to work at Queen's Park.
Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton expects the Liberals will use the session to try to sell themselves in advance of next year's provincial election.

"The government has certainly started their election campaign," says Hampton. "They will try to use this session as an election campaign, but I think the bigger issues, things like people's hydro bills, the continuing difficulties in the health care system and the Far North Act, will overshadow any attempt by the government to run an election campaign."

The only piece of new government legislation planned this fall will be aimed at pension reform.
