Liberals, Conservatives talk collaboration and trade shots as Parliament returns

OTTAWA - The Liberals and Conservatives have both been talking lately about collaborating across the aisle but as Parliament resumed on Monday there were few signs of any cross-partisan peace.

Government House leader Steven MacKinnon said Monday he's under "no illusions" about the prospects for co-operation with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his caucus, even though the minority government needs opposition votes to pursue its agenda.
