MP's are back home for their Christmas break.
Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty says he was hoping the past session of Parliament would have been a little more productive than it was.
"A lot of legislation has not been passed that we would have liked passed," says Rafferty. "Sometimes that happens in minority governments but we're still working to pass legislation that we know is good for Canadians."
Rafferty says many pieces of legislation including his own private member's bill protecting workers pensions have been slowed by various means.
