Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023 Second reading of Bill C-59. The bill implements economic statement and budget provisions. Liberals cite economic recovery, support programs, clean economy investment, housing actions, and competition law changes. Conservatives criticize carbon tax impacts, spending, debt, and high costs, proposing to axe the tax and find savings. Other parties raise concerns about housing, environmental efforts, corporate profits, and First Nations needs. 9500 words, 1 hour.
Constitution Act, 1867 Second reading of Bill C-347. The bill proposes to amend the Constitution Act, 1867, offering Members of Parliament and senators an optional oath to carry out duties "in the best interest of Canada while upholding its Constitution", alongside or instead of the traditional oath of allegiance to the monarch. Supporters argue this modernizes the oath and can be done unilaterally, while others raise concerns about the constitutional amending formula. 7900 words, 1 hour.
Pandemic Day Act Report stage of Bill S-209. The bill designates March 11 as pandemic observance day to remember lives lost, learn lessons, and prepare for future crises. Supporters say it honours victims and workers. Opponents like Conservatives' Rosemarie Falk call it premature, arguing the focus should be on government accountability and fixing system failures exposed by the pandemic. Liberals, Bloc, and NDP support; Conservatives oppose. 8100 words, 1 hour.
