We begin with the Red Chamber where Senators voted on Wednesday to extend their sitting hours beyond this week before they rise for the summer so they can hold final votes on two of the government’s priority bills. Senators will now sit next Monday and Tuesday with extended hours. Earlier this month, Government House leader Pablo Rodriguez presented those bills: the Budget Implementation Act (C-30), the conversion-therapy ban (C-6), the bill to modernize the Broadcasting Act (C-10), and the net-zero-emissions bill (C-12).
