Government Business No. 13—Proceedings on Bill C‑22

Bill C-22, Lawful Access Act, 2026 · Motion on how the bill proceeds · now at committee in the Senate Where it stands

The government moved a motion to set strict time limits on the study of Bill C-22, a bill about lawful access—updating police and CSIS rules for obtaining data and provider information, and creating a framework for authorized access to information held by electronic service providers. A Conservative member proposed amending the motion to split the bill in two, so one part could be voted on now and the part dealing with electronic service providers and privacy could be studied by committee in the fall with expert witnesses. Most of the sitting, however, went to farewell tributes for the retiring Conservative member for Yorkton—Melville, who gave her final speech, and members from several parties thanked her for her service before she responded.Written by AI from the debate.

“I wish this member a happy retirement. We do not always agree, but we need to debate in a democracy. Women still make up barely 30 percent of Parliament.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I would also like to join my colleagues in wishing the member a happy retirement. As women in politics, she and I help make up barely 30% of Parliament. I truly wish her a wonderful retirement. Although we do not always share the same values, we live in a healthy democracy. Of all places, this is the very space where we should be able to debate. More importantly, we must not be afraid to debate.
