While readers of this blog will be well aware of my lack of support for Bill C279 in it's current state, I can't help but recognize March 20, 2014 as a significant anniversary of this bill that points to one of many concerns over the state of the Canadian Senate.
This bill passed 3rd reading in the Canadian House of Commons on March 20, 2013, which means the Senate has sat on this Bill for a full year now, delaying their responsibility of reviewing the Bill, and either accepting it, or sending it back for further review.
Whether you support this bill or not, I would like to think that we should all be concerned over the fact that the Senate is refusing to undertake the work which they are mandated to do - processing the Bills that are sent to them from the House of Commons.
For more information about my personal stance on this Bill, please see www.tcac279.org
