Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022 Third reading of Bill C-32. The bill seeks to enact provisions from the 2022 fall economic statement and 2022 budget. It includes measures such as expanding dental benefits for children under 12, providing rental subsidies, eliminating interest on federal student loans, and increasing the OAS for seniors over 75. While the Liberals highlight these supports, the Conservatives criticize the government's spending and economic policies, and the Bloc Québécois and NDP advocate for increased health transfers and a windfall tax on large corporations, respectively. 14500 words, 2 hours.
Criminal Code Third reading of Bill S-223. The bill amends the Criminal Code and Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to combat organ trafficking. It creates new offences for facilitating, participating in, or obtaining coercively or commercially acquired organs, extending extraterritorial jurisdiction for Canadians involved in transplant tourism. It also makes foreign nationals or permanent residents involved inadmissible. Members across parties support the bill, citing global exploitation, China's forced organ removal from dissidents, and the need to strengthen human rights. 4500 words, 40 minutes.
Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Members debate the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, especially following recent murders in Winnipeg. They discuss implementing the 231 calls for justice, addressing systemic racism, and the need for housing and safe spaces. Many call for an immediate moratorium on the Prairie Green Landfill, where victims' remains are believed to be, and an independent investigation into search feasibility. 32500 words, 4 hours.
