Today, the Liberal government tabled a motion in the House of Commons seeking to expand the scope of Bill C-21, allowing extensive amendments to be heard by the Standing Committee on Public Safety while limiting debate time for those same amendments.
The motion proposes a maximum of 20 minutes for each amendment's debate and two days for the entire package of over 140 proposed amendments. This would result in a total of 25 hours of debate on the largest gun ban in Canadian history.
The motion was not passed today due to a CPC filibuster led by Public Safety critic Raquel Dancho. However, prior to the filibuster, there were discussions in the House providing insights into party stances on the issue.
