Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No. 2

Bill C-31, Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No. 2 · Time allocation motion · now at report stage in the House Where it stands

The House debated a time-allocation motion for Bill C-31, the second budget 2025 implementation act, a large bill covering tax changes, banking and procurement rules, measures for the forestry and cultural sectors, and a new Defence Investment Agency. The government said the bill delivers investments in defence, housing, arts and culture, and help for Canadians, and that it should move to a vote. Conservatives objected that the 330-plus-page bill amends many laws at once and had received only a few hours of debate, and raised concerns about the new defence agency’s powers and government spending; Bloc members asked why the budget did not include repayment of U.S. softwood lumber duties and complained about limited time and briefings. Some exchanges also touched on forestry and past parliamentary shutdowns rather than the bill itself.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
