Description
With the summer adjournment at an end, the House reconvened on September 18, 2006, under the shadow of mounting casualties in Afghanistan and of the terrible events at Dawson College in Montreal. Members were also informed that a vacancy had arisen for the electoral district of Repentigny as the result of the tragic traffic-related death of Bloc Quebecois MP Benoit Sauvageau, to whose memory leaders from of all sides rose to offer tributes. Members observed moments of silence for Mr. Sauvageau, for the victims of the Dawson College shootings and for the four Canadian soldiers most recently to have lost their lives in Afghanistan. As it has done since the inception of the 39th Parliament, the government pressed forward with the introduction of major legislative initiatives such as Bill C-24, ratifying the softwood lumber agreement with the United States, and Bill C-27, amending the dangerous offender and long-term offender provisions of the Criminal Code. However, the small handful of bills that have been passed by the House thus far have included no such items, with the possible exception of Bill C-2, the Accountability Act, which is currently before the Senate.
