National Council for Reconciliation Act Report stage of Bill C-29. The bill establishes an independent, Indigenous-led national council for reconciliation to monitor and report on Canada's progress in implementing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's calls to action 53-56. Debate centers on the council's composition, including concerns over the removal of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples and the explicit inclusion of economic reconciliation. Members discuss the slow pace of reconciliation, government accountability, and the need for survivor voices. 48200 words, 6 hours in 2 segments: 1 2.
Criminal Code Second reading of Bill C-295. The bill Bill C-295 amends the Criminal Code to penalize neglect of vulnerable adults in long-term care facilities, prohibiting convicted owners or managers from future work. The Liberal sponsor cites high COVID-19 deaths in these facilities. While generally supported, some parties like the Bloc Québécois emphasize increasing health transfers to provinces, and the NDP calls for more funding and a safe long-term care act. 8200 words, 1 hour.
