House Of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer

NDP House Leader Nathan Cullen Dept: House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer bundled the amendments into 67 groups, though there could be up to 159, depending on the results of the earlier rounds of voting. The decision means MPs could face up to 24 hours of voting, though it's hard to predict how long the process will actually take, according to CBC. NDP House Leader Nathan Cullen says his party's MPs have packed their pyjamas and pillows for the votes and opposition MPs have prompted at least 67 rounds of voting on 871 changes they've proposed to the federal government's massive budget implementation bill. The House can get through about six votes every hour. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
