(Update: C-60 hasn’t passed in the Senate yet. But it is expected to before the upper chamber adjourns for the summer)
Wednesday afternoon, Canada is expected to get 19 new laws – and maybe 20.
Some are more self-explanatory than others: ones that make the RCMP more accountable by beefing up the review body and modernizing the discipline process; one that amends the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act; one that makes it a crime to wear a mask during a riot.
But others are more procedural, such as C-63 : An Act for granting to Her Majesty certain sums of money for the federal public administration for the financial year ending March 31, 2014.
And how could we forget the Economic Action Plan.
