Parliament returns from a one week break today, and is in store for another political roller coaster ride. The government is set to introduce another budget implementation bill, as well as debate on Bill C-50, the Employment Insurance Benefit Increases Bill. A potential opposition day for the Liberals could be Thursday or Friday, setting the stage for a government defeat. A non-confidence motion would be introduced purely for optics, so that the Liberals don't look as weak as they did under the leadership of Stephane Dion.
The Liberals have a lot of work to do and a lot of voters to win over if they want to pull the plug on the 4oth Parliament, but a spike in popularity on Thursday or Friday would certainly help. On other debates, America definitely needs to be able to manage its budget; it has been duly noted how easily it is to slip back into recession since the economy has recovered up to this point.
