Business of the House

This was a routine Business of the House debate, not discussion of a bill’s contents. The government House leader sought unanimous consent for a motion, agreed to among all parties, that would set aside usual House procedures to advance several bills, including Bill C-11, and set the House’s sitting schedule ahead of the summer break. The statement was procedural and no substantive positions on the legislation’s merits were raised.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
