Criminal Code Report stage of Bill S-228. The bill, Bill S-228, seeks to explicitly amend the Criminal Code to define forced and coerced sterilization as aggravated assault. Supporters from all parties argue this legislative clarity is essential to protect bodily autonomy, address systemic discrimination—particularly against Indigenous women—and provide accountability for a practice that remains a modern reality rather than just a historical injustice. 7200 words, 1 hour.

Bill C-11—Time Allocation Motion Members debate the government’s motion to impose time allocation on Bill C-11, which transfers military sexual assault cases to civilian courts. Liberals contend the policy is essential for restoring institutional trust, while opposition members argue closure undermines democratic committee scrutiny. Debate also considers whether survivors should have a choice of jurisdiction. 4600 words, 2 hours.

Military Justice System Modernization Act Report stage of Bill C-11. The bill amends the National Defence Act to transfer sexual misconduct cases within the armed forces to civilian courts. Conservatives and Bloc members, citing recent committee work, argue the legislation should allow survivors to choose which justice system handles their cases. Conversely, Liberals contend that the mandatory transfer is a key recommendation of landmark reports and essential for independence. The opposition heavily criticizes the government for using time allocation to dismiss cross-party amendments. 26000 words, 3 hours in 2 segments: 1 2.

Statements by Members

Question Period

The Conservatives condemn the government for a $1-trillion debt bill that causes higher grocery prices and demand they scrap gas taxes.

Ministerial Compliance with Order in Council Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay supports a question of privilege regarding the government's failure to table annual reports from the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise, arguing this impedes parliamentary oversight of human rights abuses involving Canadian companies. 900 words, 10 minutes.

Framework on the Access to and Use of Cash Act First reading of Bill C-276. The bill establishes a national framework protecting access to physical cash and mandates parliamentary approval for the creation or issuance of any central bank digital currency in Canada. 200 words.
