Bill C-52 takes the lead

Bill C-52, which implements “certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 19, 2007″, is now at the “Report Stage” (the stage immediately before 3rd Reading). Meanwhile, poor old Bill C-33 continues to languish in committee. Bill C-33 contains technical amendments that apparently get no respect: some of the amendments date back to December, 2002, at least.

The “committee” in this case is the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance. It met yesterday to consider C-33, and apparently it will meet again tomorrow for that same purpose.
