Bill C-64: A proposed law about a national drug plan will have a set amount of time for discussion.

What This Vote Is Really About

This vote is about how much time the House of Commons will spend discussing a proposed law called Bill C-64. Bill C-64 is about creating a national program to help people afford prescription drugs. The government wants to limit the debate on this proposed law. They want to make sure it moves through Parliament quickly. If the vote passes, there will be less time for Members of Parliament to discuss the proposed law, suggest changes, and vote on it. This matters because it affects how carefully the proposed law is considered. If you care about how a national drug program would work, and how it might affect you, you should care whether Parliament has enough time to properly discuss and debate the details of Bill C-64.
