OTTAWA -- Changes to pension plans for MPs and federal workers, further cuts to government spending and more controversy over the "Trojan horse" bill that critics say will deliver them are on the fall agenda as the latest sitting of Parliament gets underway.

New omnibus legislation is expected, a sequel of sorts to Bill C-38 -- the controversial budget implementation bill that was passed in June after marathon, all-night voting sessions that were forced by an angry Opposition.

The second bill "will put into place outstanding items from the economic action plan 2012 which remain to be implemented," government House leader Peter Van Loan told a news conference today in the foyer of the House of Commons.

An hour later, Opposition NDP MPs occupied the same space to accuse the government of planning once again to steamroller Parliament and its democratic traditions.

"Last session, we saw a legislative strategy from the government that was unco-operative and at times belligerent,"said NDP House leader Nathan Cullen.

"They threw everything but the kitchen sink into their 'Trojan horse' budget bill and then avoided scrutiny by ramming it through the House employing an unprecedented use or even abuse of parliamentary practices.

"We are concerned, based on the comments made by the Conservatives, that they are planning again to trample our legislative rights."

Nonsense, said Van Loan, who said the new bill would be a key part of a fall agenda aimed at job creation and economic growth.

"The plan is working," Van Loan said. "Canada has posted the strongest job-creation record in the G7, with over 770,000 net new jobs created for Canadians families since the end of the economic downturn.

"Canadians expect their government to focus on maintaining Canada's record of relative strength."

Other forthcoming legislation will deal with RCMP accountability and law-and-order issues, including a bill to make it easier to deport dangerous foreign criminals and one to double the amount which offenders must pay to victims in recompense.

The RCMP legislation will "ensure that the RCMP is fully accountable and transparent to Canadians," Van Loan said.

The NDP is trying to set its own agenda, centred largely around helping people who've lost their jobs and consumers who feel they're being gouged at the gas pumps and by big corporations.

New Democrat consumer protection critic Glenn Thibeault said his party will continue its push for a gasoline ombudsman who can field consumer complaints about high fuel prices.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper set the stage last week for continued cuts in government spending when he announced a parliamentary committee tasked with finding deeper cuts to the public purse.

The committee is being headed by tight-fisted Treasury Board President Tony Clement.

The Tories appear to be riding high as they enter the next phase of their majority mandate.

A Canadian Press Harris-Decima poll conducted within the two weeks prior to the start of the fall sitting suggests the Tories have opened up a seven-point lead over the NDP.

The survey puts Conservative support at 34 per cent, the NDP at 27, the Liberals at 24 and the Green party at seven.

Two-thousand Canadians were questioned for the poll earlier this month, which is considered accurate within plus or minus 2.2 percentage points, 19 times in 20.
