After a tight vote, the Senate has decided to amend a Conservative bill that would further exempt farmers from the carbon tax, signalling its probable return to the House of Commons where the Liberal government could put it to rest through procedural manoeuvres.
“Regrettably, the passage of this amendment means that the bill will be delayed and will most likely never see the light of day, as it is now required to return to the HoC [House of Commons] for further debate,” Sen. Don Plett, who leads Conservatives in the Upper Chamber, said in a social media statement.
