Bill C-21: A proposed law about guns will have a set amount of time for discussion.

What This Vote Is Really About

This vote is about how long the House of Commons will spend discussing a proposed law called Bill C-21. Bill C-21 deals with firearms, like rifles and handguns. The government wants to limit the amount of time politicians can debate and propose changes to Bill C-21. If the vote passes, there will be less time for members of parliament to discuss the proposed law, and it will move faster through the House of Commons. This matters because Bill C-21 could change the rules around owning and using firearms. Citizens who own guns, or who are concerned about gun violence, should care because this vote affects how carefully the proposed law is considered before it might become law.
