msdogfood Posted June 4, 2010 Report Posted June 4, 2010 According to press reports, the Liberals are close to a deal with the opposition on the changes to the Immigration & Refugee Act. I have a lot of problems with the bill in its original form and I have been trying to find an updated copy showing the amendments proposed and accepted by the Liberals/opposition. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the accepted amendments? Please provide a link if you find it. On a related note, why hasn't the House of Commons updated the bill with the amendments yet, at least on their website? Thanks and happy hunting. Quote

Argus Posted June 4, 2010 Report Posted June 4, 2010 So whare can i find the info???. Thanks! Maybe this will enlighten you. It seems Jason Kenney has been working with Liberal critic, Maurizio Bevilacqua on the bill to see it was acceptable to the Liberals and could pass the House swiftly. The Liberals proposed a number of amendments and these were accepted by Kenney and they pretty much have a deal. According to Ivison, a lot of Liberals are not happy about this and are demanding the party propose more amendments - ones that the Conservatives will surely not be able to accept. Cooperation is apparently not considered as helpful as big nasty fights where nothing gets accomplished. John Ivison Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
