The Chair Liberal Filomena Tassi

I call the meeting to order.

Today we're looking at Bill S-232, sponsored by Michael Levitt.

Alexandre, do you want to report on whether, in your view, it's okay or if there are any problems?

1:30 p.m.

Alexandre Lavoie Committee Researcher

Sure.

The only criterion that applies to Senate bills is whether the bill is essentially the same as one already voted on by the House of Commons in the current session. I didn't find any similar bill that has been voted on.
