In the House
Debate is expected on the government's motion to extend sitting hours for the House of Commons until the summer break begins in late June.
The opposition Conservatives have already criticized the motion for potentially allowing the government to move, without notice, a motion to adjourn the House until September "without debate or amendment."
Also:
- MPs vote on a budget ways and means motion.
- A time allocation motion is expected on Bill C-8 at report stage.
