Foothills MP John Barlow is making his way back to Ottawa this week.

He has a couple of agriculture issues he needs to deal with in the middle of the week.

He hasn't been to the capital in a couple of months and says it's going to be strange to be back.

"It'll be much different than the hustle and bustle that I'm used to when I'm in Ottawa. We have been sort of managing a lot of things from the office here in High River. We've started up the Agriculture Committee again. We're managing, but it'll be good to get back in the House."

Barlow says he'll only be there for a few days before returning.

He says they have the in-person sitting Wednesday, May 13 and then virtual sittings on Tuesday, May 19 and Thursday, May 21.

He says he'll return for a few days and then they're supposed to be back in Parliament for a full sitting on Monday, May 25, but he's not sure if that'll happen or not given the restrictions around social distancing.
