OTTAWA — The federal government is cutting short debate by MPs of its online streaming bill, a move Tory MPs have condemned as “draconian” and “disturbing.”
They say curbing scrutiny of the bill line by line in committee is an attempt by the government to rush it through the House of Commons and will lead to the creation of a “flawed and incoherent” law.
Green MP Mike Morrice questioned why such “seemingly extreme measures” are needed when we are not expecting an election this summer.Liberal MP Anthony Housefather told MPs in a debate on Friday that the government has been reluctantly forced to table the motion because of Tory delaying tactics to try to stop the bill becoming law.
Thomas argued that more witnesses were needed before the committee consider amendments and each line of the bill, a usual stage in a bill’s passage through the Commons. “While we are reluctant to be at this stage, this is crucial legislation,” he said. “Canadians asked us to pass it. They want us to move on this.”
