(LifeSiteNews) – Two controversial bills championed by Canada’s ruling Liberal Party under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau failed to pass the nation’s senate during the last day of debate on June 29, before the upper chamber broke for the summer.
The contentious internet censorship Bill C-10 was sent to committee by Canada’s senate before the summer recess, meaning for now at least it has not become law.
Also failing to make it through the senate before the summer break was the controversial Bill C-6, or “conversion therapy” ban. This bill would punish those helping children with gender confusion or unwanted same-sex attraction with jail time of up to five years.
Should a late summer or fall election be called by Trudeau, as is anticipated, before the senate is scheduled to reconvene, the bills and all others not passed will die.
Should an election not be called before the senate is scheduled to return in mid-September, C-10 and C-6 will still face further study, meaning their possible passage with Royal Assent is potentially months away.
During the final debate of Bill C-10, well-known Canadian author and Senator David Adams Richards, who was appointed by Trudeau in 2017, took aim at the controversial legislation in an impassioned speech.
