Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau's new budget bill is less than half the size of his last, at 364 numbered pages and a table of contents.Finance Minister Bill Morneau has tabled the federal government’s final budget bill – a wide-ranging piece of legislation that is expected to be rushed into law before Parliament comes to an end in June.
Parliament breaks for a two-week recess Friday and then just seven sitting weeks remain before the House of Commons session ends. Parliament will not sit again until after the scheduled Oct. 21 federal election. That leaves MPs and senators with a tight timeline to hear from experts and review the budget bill’s extensive contents.
For instance, Mr. Morneau used a budget bill last year to introduce the use of “remediation agreements” in lieu of criminal prosecution. The significant change to Canadian law has not yet been used, and the provision is at the heart of the accusations that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office applied inappropriate pressure on former attorney-general Jody Wilson-Raybould to consider the provision in relation to the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.
