Commons withholds consent on COVID-19 bill procedures
Government House leader Pablo Rodriguez proposed that Bill C-17 be ordered for second reading later the same day with set speaking times for members of each recognized party and the Green Party. The motion also addressed questions and comments after the speeches. Some members withheld consent and the proposal did not proceed.
Rodriguez next sought unanimous consent to divide Bill C-17 into two bills, one dealing with disclosure of information for permits for persons with disabilities. Consent was again denied. Conservative MP Andrew Scheer said the Conservatives support normal sittings of the House and that the government had refused to allow such debate on the bill.
