Government Business No. 12—Proceedings on Bill C-30

Bill C-30, Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act · Closure motion · now law Where it stands

The debate was on a motion to stop further adjournment of debate on Bill C-30, the Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act, which includes tax measures such as changes to the labour deduction for tradespeople, a temporary cut to the excise tax on gasoline and diesel, and changes to employment insurance, the Canada Pension Plan and other laws. Liberal members said the bill funds priorities like trade unions, a sovereign wealth fund and small craft harbours, and argued that a roughly 30-hour delay at the finance committee meant it was time to vote. Conservative members said they were not stalling but asking necessary questions in committee, that the bill changes many laws and needs more study, and objected to the government limiting debate in a minority Parliament. Elizabeth May also spoke against the routine use of time allocation and raised concerns about parts of the bill not covered in the economic plan, such as pesticide rules.Written by AI from the debate.
