Initially it was to have been studied by the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.
A complete bill is included in a budget bill. If I'm not mistaken, the bill was about 20 pages long. The budget bill was already 159 pages long and grew to 179 pages after the inclusion of these measures that were not for the Standing Committee on Finance, but for the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs. Still, the government is trying to convince us that this is not an omnibus bill, but that all these measures are in the budget.
This might eventually mean that all bills tabled by the government, expect perhaps those on crime, will be in one omnibus bill, the reason being that all these measures will in the long run be in a budget or in a line of the federal budget.
Thank you very much.
