Also, the reason they're sitting until midnight (thanks CPC)
"I must say, however, that this evening I have a little bit of a challenge in discussing this motion. It is a disgusting motion that we are discussing, actually, because it is a motion that has been put forward to delete the short title of a very important bill, Bill C-59.
Just to be clear, the long title of the bill is an act to implement certain provisions of the fall economic statement tabled in Parliament on November 21, 2023 and certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023. The long title is a mouthful so, as is the normal course of business, the bill has a shorter title.
The short title is simply the “fall economic statement implementation act, 2023”. The motion put forward by the Conservatives tonight, requiring debate for five and a half hours, is to delete that short title. Just so that everyone is clear, because I know this is a very important motion for the Conservative Party, we are talking about deleting the title, the “fall economic statement implementation act, 2023”, and not the long title."
