Bloc Quebecois: Omnibus Bill

Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer Dept: The New Democrats , the Liberals, the Bloc Quebecois and the Greens had between them proposed more than 1,000 amendments to the omnibus Bill C-38 , but by early Monday afternoon, a potential marathon of voting had been reduced to no more than one 24-hour spin around the clock, according to The Star. Of the 871 amendments that were eventually deemed to be in order, Scheer s ruling grouped them in such a way that MPs will vote on them a maximum of 159 times this week and oTTAWA Opposition MPs will get their chance to protest sweeping legislative changes included in the massive Conservative budget bill , but it will not be the protracted struggle they were seeking despite promises to come bearing pyjamas. I am fully aware of the extraordinary nature of the current situation, Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer said in the preamble to his ruling on the opposition amendments . (www.immigrantscanada.com).
