Beauséjour Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc
will return to the House of Commons today for the first time since being
diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma nine months ago.
This will be the first time LeBlanc, who has represented the southeastern New Brunswick riding since 2000, will travel to Ottawa for official business since being sworn in back in November.
At that time, LeBlanc had to wear a face mask over fears that an illness could hamper his recovery.
Before being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, he was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2017.
LeBlanc
was re-elected to his Beauséjour seat in October's federal election,
which sent his party back to Ottawa with a minority government. He
became president of the Privy Council in November.
He was unable to campaign during the election because he'd recently received a bone marrow transplant. He still won with 46 per cent of the vote.

Deja Vu anyone? Kings County Record , June 22, 2004
The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
By Gisele McKnight Editor
FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.
The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada.
One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements.
When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy.
Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians.
"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It’s alright to ***** in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico."

Its nice to see that everybody is Happy Happy Happy that the most powerful political lawyer in the Maritimes is returning to the circus However methinks not everybody will be overjoyed with him helping his buddy Trudeau the Younger force Trump's idea of NAFTA 2.0 upon us N'esy Pas?

Back at the trough, more family and friends need appointments.

Reply to @Guy Richard:
How strange Cons find this indignant when they are not in a position to appoint. That is what happens when you win an election. FYI Liberals are not as bad as Cons when it comes to appointments. Remember Brad Green?

lawyer from the Maritimes that know how the wicked game is played Nobody
can deny that the turncoat Johnny "Never Been Good" Crosbie has a lot
fun at it N'esy Pas?

Mr.LeBlanc you have been doing great work for NB and Canada for many years.I am very happy you have been able to fight off the cancer and get back to work.May you have many more productive years yet.
Mack Leigh
Reply to @Eugene
Peabody: My , my, my, what an extremely short memory you seem to have
. You seem to have completely forgotten the " buddies " he supported
such as Boudreau, Gallant, Arseneault, Rousselle, Melanson et all here
in NB...along with his unwavering support of all things JT.. You seem to
forget his blatant nepotism and pandering to friends and family alike
while making a mockery of democracy here in NB...... Wish him absolutely
no harm but the best thing that LeBlanc could do for New Brunswickers
is to retire and the sooner the better.

Not according to the people of his riding. And you think that a Con MP would do anything differently to support the provincial PCs and the national leader??? you cannot be that naive.

Why? He is only 52 and one of the most popular and effective politician that represents NB in Ottawa! This is a health story. Put aside politics for one post.

article has nothing to do with politics... It has everything to do with
politics and almost every sentence mentions that he is a Liberal MP or
what he has done or is doing in his position as a politician.

Just because you don't like it does not mean it is partisan politics. He is the liberal MP for beausejour and representing his constituants in Ottawa. what gets your undies in a bind about that???

Apart from not making any sense must it be explained to you that every party in power tend to name people who are 1) qualified since there is a vetting process and 2) favorable to them and not have trashed and bashed them previously. if you think it can be otherwise then you are worse off than i thought.

New NAFTA top priority as Parliament resumes Monday
Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland asks Opposition leaders to avoid ‘undue delays’ in moving deal forward

The new North American trade deal is expected to take centre stage when Parliament returns Monday, marking the first challenge for a Liberal minority government that will need Opposition support to pass legislation.
The House of Commons reconvenes Monday after rising for the holidays in December, giving Canadians their first serious look at Canada's 43rd Parliament in action.
Moving forward with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) will likely dominate the agenda this week when the Liberals table a bill to approve the deal Wednesday.
"I write to ask for your views and your support, as we, and our colleagues in the House of Commons, begin the vital task of debating the Canada-U.S.-Mexico-Agreement," Freeland said.
"No one, least of all the prime minister or me, expects anything other than a full, frank, and vigorous debate about the new NAFTA," she wrote. "That's exactly as it should be."
Today I wrote to Opposition Leaders @AndrewScheer, @yfblanchet, @theJagmeetSingh, and @JoAnnRobertsHFX, asking that we work together, as colleagues, to put Canada and Canadians first and ratify the new #NAFTA swiftly. #CdnPoli https://bit.ly/2O12e1S
Deputy Prime Minister letter to party leaders regarding the new NAFTA
Today,
the Deputy Prime Minister sent a letter regarding the new NAFTA to the
leaders of the Bloc Québécois, the Conservative Party of Canada, the
Green Party of Canada, and the New Democratic Party....
pm.gc.ca
"I ask that we work together, as colleagues, to put Canada and Canadians first, and get this important work done without undue delay," Freeland added, echoing a similar call issued by Canada's premiers last week.
Both NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet are pushing for a full debate of the agreement in the Commons as well as studying the issue at committee.
The Conservatives are also calling for further study, but don't seem eager to delay the deal.
In response to Freeland's plea, Green Party interim leader Jo-Ann Roberts said the party was feeling "fairly positive" about supporting the new agreement.
Pharmacare NDP's priority
Meanwhile, the NDP said that creating a national pharmacare program will be its first piece of private members' legislation, though it doesn't expect to table a bill until next month.
The party also says it will be pushing for the Liberals to comply with a 2016 Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruling to end Ottawa's discrimination against First Nation children harmed by the on-reserve child welfare system and under-funded child and family services.

The House of Commons unanimously passed an NDP motion in December that could compel the federal government to abandon its Federal Court appeal regarding a decision ordering Ottawa to compensate the children and their families.
The party will also be keeping an eye this week on a ways and means motion on the Liberals' proposed tax changes that will raise the threshold of income exempt from federal income tax.
Other issues in play
The Green Party will focus on preventing Ottawa from approving Teck Resources' bid to build a proposed oilsands mine in Alberta, calling for federal officials to meet nation-to-nation with Wet'suwet'en members protesting the Coastal GasLink pipeline on their traditional territory and asking ministers responsible for Canada's new medical assistance in dying criteria to address a number of the party's concerns.
Justice Minister David Lametti plans to table new legislation for the criteria in February.
On Saturday, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said he would be following the Liberals' handling of Canada-China relations.
"The China committee is up and running and we're going to be holding the government's feet to the fire on their relationship with China," Scheer said, ahead of the committee's second meeting Monday.
Leader of the Opposition Andrew Scheer said that despite an ongoing race for Conservative leadership, the party would still focus on highlighting problems within the Trudeau government. (Adrian Wyld / Canadian Press)
Scheer commented last week that the Conservative leadership race would not distract the party from holding the Liberals to account when Parliament resumes.
"The Trudeau Liberals might think that our leadership race will give them a free ride. They're wrong," he said. "We're all going to continue to be here in Ottawa and the House of Commons and on the committee floor every single day fighting for our vision for the country."
The Conservatives also said in an email that the party plans to bring forward an opposition motion Tuesday, but wouldn't provide further details.
