Bill
C-51 was debated yesterday, June 9, 2008, in Parliament for about 2 hours. It did not go to a
vote. It has been recorded it and will be put up on our website so it can
be viewed online.
Bill C-51
is scheduled to be debated again today, June 10, 2008, at the 10am session of the House of Commons. You can view it online by clicking here.
(If
that doesn't work go to www.parl.gc.ca,
click english, click webcast on the left hand side, and chose the 10am HoC
sitting No. 109)
The
good news though is that someone at the
committee's branch of Parliament told us that currently Bill C-52 is
not scheduled for committee review until after the summer. She also said the house
normally resumes on September 15th and the committees start up about a week
later. If Bill C-51 was to pass second reading today it would also be
looked at in the fall. Bill C-52 is assigned to the Standing Committee on Health and C-51 is likely to be the same
.
The
government attempted and failed to pass a motion yesterday to extend the Parliamentary
session beyond June 20, 2008. A lot of the opposition to this seemed to be due to
the fact that they would not specify their priorities for the extra time. This
was a close vote, about 135 against and 119 for the extension.
