Of the 44 new bills tabled during the 39th session, 13 bills including C-22 are focused on Law and Order.
By December 2006 9 of the bills introduced by Harpers government had been given the “Royal Ascent”, and made law.
These included four on money bills, one amendment to the Elections Act, another was to approve funds for agriculture.
In response to Stephen Harper’s comments Liberal MP Sue Barnes claimed her party is offering to fast-track many of the bills. Ms. Barnes also sits in the justice committee and add’s, “I think reasonable bills will be supported by all of us in opposition.”
The following chart shows which bills were facing heavy Liberal opposition. It appears Bill C-22 was not one of those heavily opposed bills. What happened? The conservative gov’t tabled it, the MP’s endorsed it, The people supported it, and the Liberals did not oppose it why is it not law yet?
