The NDP wants hearings and the file has been sent to the OPP, so what will Parliament do with the controversial provisions of C-59, the latest budget bill?
But hey, at least this one was subject to a single amendment
And now, another omnibus budget bill
This fall’s implementation act went (relatively) quietly
Changes to how public service labour disputes are settled
Meet the newest omnibus budget bill
A lonely nation turns its eyes to auditors
The latest budget bill draws aboriginal protests.
Aaron Wherry’s formerly live blog from a long night in the House
Amid all else yesterday, Nathan Cullen rose on a point of order shortly after Question Period to argue that the way in which C-45 was referred to various committees for study was procedurally illegitimate.
Scott Brison has submitted some 3,000 amendments to C-45 to be considered by the finance committee. The committee will inevitably run out of time to vote on all those amendments, at which point the House could be asked to consider the proposed changes.
The opposition parties are unimpressed with how little time is being allowed for the study of C-45.
