Although the countdown is on until the rise of Parliament, it's going to a busy week in Ottawa, with a number of highly-anticipated reports and the resumption of the Mike Duffy trial.
Here's a look at the week ahead in politics.
MONDAY
The trial of suspended Sen. Mike Duffy resumes in Ottawa on Monday, following a three-week break. Senate finance official Nicole Proulx, who also testified in the first portion of the trial, is expected to take the stand first. The trial is scheduled to run until June 19, but, given lengthy questioning and testimony, it could run into the fall, coinciding with the scheduled federal election, or even into next year.
Events marking the conclusion of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission continue in Ottawa on Monday, including sharing circles and panel discussions about the impact of the residential school system. Thousands of residential school survivors and their families will travel to Ottawa this week for closing events as the TRC completes its five-year mandate, which included the creation of an accurate and public historical record of the residential school system.
Auditor General Michael Ferguson will appear before the House of Commons Public Accounts committee Monday to discuss the chapter on health services on remote First Nations committees from his spring 2015 report.
TUESDAY
The TRC will release its highly-anticipated report on the residential school system Tuesday. Justice Murray Sinclair, chair of the TRC, told CTV's Question Period Sunday that the findings will show that residential schools had an impact on nearly all of the social markers used to measure the state of affairs for aboriginal people in Canada.
"In our report, which we are releasing, we talk about each of the social indicators that society uses to mark the state of affairs of the indigenous peoples of this country," said Sinclair. "And we point out that it's very rare to find to any social marker in this country that doesn’t have some connection, directly or indirectly, to the residential school experience."
Finance Minister Joe Oliver will take questions on the government’s budget bill, C-59, at the Senate Finance committee Tuesday afternoon. The Conservatives are trying to pass the budget legislation before Parliament breaks for the summer.
WEDNESDAY
The Ontario Provincial Police will release their report into the Oct. 22 attack on Parliament Hill. The report was commissioned by House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer after he called for an independent investigation into the shootings.
THURSDAY
The Speaker of the Senate is expected to receive the auditor general's report into Senate expenses on Thursday. It will be given to the secretive, all-party Board of Internal Economy, and then released to the public. It is expected that nine senators will have their spending referred to the RCMP after Ferguson hands in his report. Most of the nine senators are no longer sitting in the Senate, according to CTV's Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife. An additional 21 senators filed questionable expenses that Ferguson says should be repaid.
SATURDAY
Prime Minister Stephen Harper heads to Germany for the G7 Summit on Saturday. He will be abroad until June 11.
