The One Canadian Economy Act passed third reading in the House of Commons on June 20 after MPs decided to split voting on the bill into two parts.

The legislation will now move to the Senate, where senators are expected to finish reviewing it before breaking for summer on June 28. The Liberal government has been trying to get legislation on major projects and interprovincial trade barriers approved before Canada Day on July 1.
