yesterday, the federal government moved to shut down debate on C-22. this means it will clear the House within days and the only real recourse for further amendments will be the Senate.
to explain the motion like you're 5.... imagine you're in elementary school and the class is supposed to spend a week discussing the rules for a new game, with everyone allowed to suggest changes and argue about them
this motion is essentially the equivalent of the teacher standing up and saying: "we're done talking. we're finishing this today, my way, and I'm taking away your ways to slow it down."
it's called a programming motion and is the most aggressive tool a government has to force a bill through.
i honestly can't believe this is happening in Canada, especially given the clear repercussions for Canada's innovation sector.
sad day for democracy.
