Omnibus Budget Bill = Lazy Politicians
It's lazy because Bill C-45 is not all about the budget and has 60 different changes to legislation in it.
I don't know where the Conservatives get off thinking this is acceptable.
It should be noted that if the Liberals were in power we might very well be seeing the same thing happening. When a party is majority territory, it can basically pass anything it wants without much of a fight unless there is something really amiss, while the official opposition clamors you can't do that and would most likely do more of the same if they are in control.
So methinks that when the next federal election is held I will press every candidate that comes to my door or I run into if they are willing to pass legislation banning omnibus bills.
Canadians need to send a clear message to Ottawa that politicians are elected to preserve democracy by having open debates on reasonable pieces of legislation rather than a ramshackle all-in-one approach.
Democracy and our taxpayer dollars demand it!
