Bill C-59 is about changes to taxes and laws from the fall and spring budgets, including new rules for vaping, cannabis, and tobacco.

What This Vote Is Really About

This vote is about whether to move forward with parts of Bill C-59, a proposed law that changes some rules about vaping, cannabis, and tobacco. Specifically, the government wants to make changes to the taxes and rules around these products. This could mean higher taxes on vaping products, which would likely make them more expensive for people who vape. It could also change how cannabis and tobacco are regulated and taxed. Citizens should care because these changes could affect the price and availability of these products. If you vape, use cannabis, or smoke tobacco, this proposed law could directly impact your wallet and your access to these items. Even if you don't use these products, you might care about how the government is regulating and taxing them.
