MPs return to the House of Commons Monday, kicking off the first full week of operations for the pandemic Parliament.

Debate is expected to continue over last week’s throne speech, as well as the latest bill for COVID-19 relief measures.

New benefits are expected to be included in the updated package including a replacement for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit and a sick leave benefit.

The NDP had made paid sick leave and a new benefits program as generous as the old one conditions for supporting for the Liberals’ throne speech.

The Tories and Bloc Quebecois have said they’ll vote against the speech.

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole and Bloc Quebecois chief Yves-Francois Blanchet are expected to take their seats.

The two opposition leaders were absent from the Commons last week as both were in isolation after contracting COVID-19.
