Senate could vote on controversial major projects bill today
- The Senate may vote today on Prime Minister Mark Carney's major projects bill, intended to allow the federal government to fast-track economic projects.
- The bill, known as Bill C-5, has faced opposition due to its rapid passage through Parliament and the new government powers it grants.
- Carney stated that the bill is necessary to fast-track 'nation-building projects' due to an economic crisis caused by a trade war with the United States.
- Critics argue there is time for a thorough review of the bill since proposed projects will not commence before Parliament's summer break.
