Members of Parliament will hold two separate votes on the government’s major projects bill Friday, after the House Speaker ruled the legislation has two distinct parts.

Bill C-5, also known as the One Canadian Economy Act, contains measures to tackle internal trade barriers and gives the government sweeping new powers to approve major projects.
