Privilege

Bill C-39, Building Canada Strong Act · Question of privilege · now at committee in the House Where it stands

The House dealt with a matter of privilege raised by the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands concerning words spoken during debate on the Building Canada Strong Act. The NDP member for Halifax argued that the member for Halifax had attacked her honesty by calling her arguments against the bill a campaign of lies, saying her concerns about the bill’s effects on workers’ right to strike are based on the bill’s text and shared by major labour unions. She asked the member for Halifax to withdraw the remark and apologize publicly. This was a procedural dispute over remarks made during the bill debate rather than a debate on the bill’s contents itself.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
