Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act Report stage of Bill C-50. The bill establishes a framework to support workers and economic growth in the shift to a net-zero economy, including a partnership council and action plans. Conservatives propose numerous amendments, fearing significant job losses in traditional energy sectors and arguing it infringes on provincial jurisdiction. Liberals and NDP support the bill as a necessary step for sustainable jobs and transition, while the Bloc raises concerns about Quebec's jurisdiction. Greens call it a missed opportunity but support action. 38600 words, 11 hours in 4 segments: 1 2 3 4.

Advance Disclosure of Budget Measures Members debate a question of privilege regarding the government announcing budget policy initiatives before the budget is tabled. While precedent suggests this is a matter of convention, not privilege, Members from different parties express concern about the practice of using pre-budget leaks for political advantage and call for clearer rules on disclosing budget information. 1700 words in 2 segments: 1 2.
