Description

The House of Commons completed third reading for Bill C-15, the UNDRIP implementation bill. Third reading is the final approval stage in the House before the bill moves on (or, if already passed by both chambers, toward becoming law). The bill aimed to advance alignment of Canadian laws with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This vote was a major step in the federal government’s reconciliation-related legislative agenda.
