…, but this is the same old Liberal government. It should be noted that Bill C-3 is the successor to Bill C-71 in the previous Parliament. The government has basically tried to re-pass the same failed policies as the last government. This whole debacle arose because the last prime minister refused to challeng…

…nment intervenes to counter it. Today, we are debating Bill C-3, which is actually the very same as Bill C-71. It is a carbon copy of the former bill.

Originally introduced as Bill C-71 in the previous Parliament, it builds on Conservative Senator Yonah Martin's Bill S-245, which targeted a narrow group that was inadvertently affected by the 2009 reforms under the Harper government.…

It was tabled by the previous Liberal government as Bill C-71 and, before that, in the Senate, as Bill S-245, which was heavily altered by the Liberals and New Democrats, yet another classic example of a Liberal band-aid-like solution to a problem without consi…
