A Liberal MP has moved to invoke closure on the 2024 federal budget bill in order to get the legislation swiftly passed.
During a meeting of the House finance committee on May 7, Liberal MP Ryan Turnbull sponsored a motion to have the committee pass Bill C-69, the Budget Implementation Act, no later than May 28. The bill was introduced on May 2. The invocation of closure is a procedural device used to bring debate on a question to a conclusion.
