The first week back in Ottawa was a very busy one. Before it gets too far along, I want to use the column this week to tell you about some relevant bills and motions that are coming up for debate in this fall session of parliament.

The brilliant red leaves of a maple stood out on the point of an island just opposite of our cabin. A single red leafed tree in our bay surrounded by yellow leaf birches and light orange coloured leaves of the ash trees made our arrival at the cabin Saturday morning breath taking.
On the stillness of the blue lake water soft brown needles from white pines floated on the surface. The shoreline of Rainy Lake is a blaze of colours. Crimson reds, vibrant yellows, brilliant oranges, and muted browns fill the shoreline with colour with soft greens playing in the backdrop.

While the crowd seemed to be as large as ever the final weigh-ins at the RRWT this year just did not seem to excite people.
