Parliament is back in action this week down in Ottawa and of course Foothills MP John Barlow is front and centre.

He says he and the rest of the Opposition Conservatives plan to take the Prime Minister to task over his "jet set" lifestyle of the last few months.

"He's really enjoyed travelling the world and getting his photo's taken and making these big splashy things for international projects, but really didn't get much done here at home. And I think that's our message is, the Prime Minister had a lot of fun and that's great, but now it's time to seriously get back to work."

Barlow says addressing things like the looming trillion dollar debt and employment are among his priorities in this sitting.
