Parliment Resumes Wednesday

The Member of Parliament for Kenora Riding isn't making any apologies for the government's decision to prorogue parliament.

A new session of the House of Commons is expected to begin this week.

Greg Rickford says he was able to spend his time wisely and visit most communities in the riding.

Rickford says he was able to make a number of funding announcements in remote communities in the far north.

The speech from the Throne is scheduled to take place Wednesday with the budget slated for Thursday.
