As the Liberal government attempts to swiftly pass the One Canadian Economy Act before Canada Day, Conservative MPs called for amendments to be made to the legislation, while the Bloc Québécois criticized attempts to rush the bill as imposing a “gag order” on Parliament.
Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon recently put forth a notice that would push Bill C-5, the One Canadian Economy Act, through the House of Commons by the end of next week. Liberal MPs have said the legislation must be passed before July 1 to bring down federal impediments to interprovincial trade barriers and speed up the process for approving major energy projects.
