Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government jumps on every opportunity it has to shut down debate. If it is not closure motions, it is letting bills die in the Senate.
Over a year ago, a private member's bill, Bill C-290, that would sustain and grow the largest sector of the entertainment industry in Canada was passed by the House of Commons and sent to the Senate.
As of now, the Senate has not passed the bill.
Why is this bill, which passed the House of Commons with no opposition from any member, languishing in the Senate?
