The House of Commons is wrapping up the fall sitting shortly on Thursday, meaning MPs will be heading back to their ridings for a six-week holiday break.
The House is rising with some key pieces of legislation still working their way through the House, most notably the government’s budget implementation act.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday that he wished the budget bill and some of the government’s crime legislation would be passed quickly, but suggested the House is “functioning well.”
“It’s a minority Parliament,” he said to reporters on Parliament Hill.
“We’re making progress. Canadians rightly expect us to make a lot more progress.”
MPs are scheduled to be back in Ottawa to resume sitting on Jan. 26.
