Monday  marks the return of the House of Commons, as Parliament reconvenes under the newly seated government. What to know:

• Leaders from the Liberal and Conservative parties opened the session talking cooperation — but it didn’t take long for the usual sparring to begin. Housing, cost of living, deficits: these are front and centre. North Shore News

• Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing pressure to show how his government will deliver on promises now that the legislature is active again — particularly with the minority status meaning he’ll need opposition support. North Shore News

• Among the key issues: upcoming austerity budget, border security legislation, and the challenge of balancing principles with compromise. North Shore News

• What to keep an eye on

  • How opposition parties respond to the budget and whether they support or block measures, especially those that affect costs of living.

  • Whether cross-party cooperation materializes in more than just rhetoric.

  • Any major shifts in policy or tone from the government now that it’s back in session.
