EDMONTON - Prime Minister Mark Carney is in his hometown of Edmonton for two days of planning meetings ahead of Parliament’s return next week.
Carney is expected to address his fellow Liberal MPs in a speech to rally his troops before the House of Commons curtains rise on Monday for the fall sitting of Parliament.
The Liberals are gathering in the city to talk about trade and economic issues and the government’s push to get major industrial projects launched.

The meetings also come as Carney inches toward the release of his first federal budget next month, which he has promised will be both packed with spending initiatives as well as some austerity measures.
Liberal cabinet ministers have all been given marching orders to track down where they can scale back on operational spending within their departments.
Carney is also prepping for his first face off with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in the House of Commons, following Poilievre’s byelection win in Alberta last month.
