Sen. Brazeau collapses during debate of major projects bill
- Senator Patrick Brazeau collapsed during a June 25, 2025 debate on the major projects bill in the Senate chamber in Ottawa.
- Brazeau rose to address Bill C-5, a contentious piece of legislation that was rapidly approved by the House of Commons and then examined in an uncommon Senate pre-study.
- The bill, sponsored by Prime Minister Mark Carney, would give Ottawa broad powers to accelerate project permits amid a U.S. trade war and has angered Indigenous and environmental groups.
- Proceedings were suspended for about 20 to 30 minutes while paramedics treated Brazeau, who appeared to faint and seemed to be recovering after collapsing sideways on the floor.
- The incident temporarily paused Senate debate and highlighted tensions over the politically charged legislation, which Indigenous groups say fails to respect charter rights.
