Introduced as a private member’s bill. (These don’t often become law.)
Second reading (Senate), as of May 2, 2019
(This bill did not become law.)
This is from the published bill.
This enactment amends the Canada Revenue Agency Act to authorize the Canada Revenue Agency to enter into an agreement with a province or a territory regarding the collection and disclosure of information required for establishing or maintaining an organ and tissue donor registry in the province or territory.
All sorts of information on this bill is available at LEGISinfo, an excellent resource from the Library of Parliament. You can also read the full text of the bill.
Bill numbers are reused for different bills each new session. Perhaps you were looking for one of these other C-316s:
The House resumed consideration of the motion that Bill C-316, An Act to amend the Canada Revenue Agency Act (organ donors), be read the third time and passed.
Bobby Morrissey Liberal Egmont, PE
Mr. Speaker, I rise briefly to speak to the bill and indicate that this particular piece of legislation has strong support from the minister and all members in the House.
We support the bill and will not be putting forward any more speakers to speak to it as an indication of the support coming from this side of the House.
Len Webber Conservative Calgary Confederation, AB
Mr. Speaker, I will be brief as well.
In the week since we have debated this legislation, five more Canadians have died awaiting a life-saving transplant. Delays are costing lives at a rate of five per week.
Bill C-316 has been unanimously supported through a health committee study and it has been unanimously supported by all parties at second reading. The bill was unanimously supported by health committee when it reviewed it. Bill C-316 has had all-party unanimous support in every single vote it has faced to date.
In a moment, the Speaker will ask for a unanimous decision on the bill. If it passes on a unanimous voice vote, the changes will make the 2019 tax return. If someone forces a recorded vote, this will not take place until next year and we will miss that 2019 deadline. The changes will only be on 2020 tax returns. In that year, 250 Canadians will die waiting for a life-saving transplant.
Bill C-316 will be the last private member's bill debated in this chamber for a very long time.
Everything that needs to be said has been said. Everything I wanted to say I have said. There is nothing more really to be said.
