Hello everyone! We saw some action on Bill C-29 as well as S-206.
C-29 – National Council for Reconciliation Act has started the second reading process. This Bill would create a non-political group to monitor progress on reconciliation with the Indigenous population, and look into suggestions on how to move the process along.
S-206 – An Act to amend the Criminal Code (disclosure of information by jurors) completed its third reading debates, and will go up for its final vote on September 28th. This Bill would make an exception to the Criminal Code regarding sharing information about jury proceedings when the jury is out of the courtroom (such as deliberations) to allow jurors to share that information with healthcare professionals if they are receiving medical or psychiatric treatment for problems that are the result of serving as a juror.
