Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act Report stage of Bill C-50.

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.

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, we do have a number of votes tonight. I understand the member for Carleton has not voted.
However, with those votes, it is important to keep order and decorum. The member for Cypress Hills—Grasslands has made a very disrespectful sign. Could you ask him to stop with those gestures that are inappropriate?
