| C-15 Update: Senate Passes Amended Bill Back to House |
|
|
December 10, 2009 - The Senate voted in favour of approving the amended Bill C-15 and is sending it back to the House of Commons for final approval. Once the House resumes in 2010, they will vote on whether to accept the bill and send it along to royal assent, or to send it back to the Senate for another review. One factor at play is that in 2010 the majority of the Senate will be Conservative members, as opposed to the current Liberal majority. Click here for more information on the Senate's amendments.
