After taking six weeks to celebrate the holidays and to do some work in their home ridings, Palliser MP Ray Boughen and his colleges are back to work. Parliament resumed Monday morning and it's expected to be full of questions for the Conservative Party.

Opposition Parties are looking for more answers on the Senate Scandal of last summer that saw several Senators, including Saskatchewan's Pamela Wallin, come under investigation for alleged misspending.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his team are preparing for their budget that will be presented in a few weeks.  It's expected to be a kick off, of sorts for the next federal election in 2015.
