The Liberal government has tabled a motion in the House of Commons to curtail debate and force votes on its controversial hate speech legislation, which has been stalled in committee for weeks.
The motion, tabled on March 5, proposes that the justice committee immediately resume clause-by-clause consideration of the bill, treat all remaining amendments as already moved, and require the chair to call a vote on the bill “without further debate on all remaining clauses and proposed amendments and subamendments.”
