The next bill is Bill C-518, which would amend the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act to provide for the payment of a withdrawal allowance in lieu of their retiring allowance or compensation allowance in certain circumstances, such as when the member is convicted of a punishable offence which was prosecuted by indictment.
This bill does not concern questions outside of federal jurisdiction. It does not appear to clearly violate the Constitution. There is no similar private member's bill on the order paper, and there is no government bill similar to it on the order paper.
