Major Changes

NDP Dept: But details of those and many other changes are still trickling out as Parliament picks apart the legislation meant to implement the budget's promises, according to CBC. The opposition is incensed with the size and scope of the bill. The NDP tried unsuccessfully to negotiate with the government to split it into smaller bills and the Conservatives' spring budget made headlines two months ago with plans to save billions by cutting public sector jobs, speed up major industrial projects by streamlining environmental reviews and kill the penny. Bill C-38 goes beyond tax and monetary measures to make major changes in dozens of policy areas, including the environment, natural resources and human resources. It seeks to amend or create dozens of laws, while repealling others entirely, and has been called an omnibus bill as a result. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
