Rickford ready for new session of Parliament

Members of Parliament go back to work today after a summer on the barbeque circuit.

Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford says it looks like its going to be a busy session.

In addition to a number of government bills on the agenda, Rickford says he'll be speaking out against a private members bill by Toronto area M.P. John McKay on corporate accountability.

Rickford adds that the other major vote this week will take place on Wednesday on the
federal long gun registry.

He says at this point the vote is too close to call.
