The Bloc wants to establish some of the eligibility criteria in the bill directly/the HoC to review the regulations, not just in regulations. The rational is that it's important to enshrine these in the law, not leave it up to future governments. #C22
Sub-amendment rejected. Back to the NDP amendment on reporting on the regulation work to the HoC.
@BonitaZarrillo is asking for unanimous consent to withdraw her amendment. Withdrawn.
Another amendment from the Bloc to force the gov to present regulations drafts in front of the House. Defeated.

That's a wrap for #C22 study at #HUMA. It is now up to the government to get the bill passed before Friday. It's doable. If it does, the bill will go to the Senate and go through the motions of being studied.
A few observations: 1. The study has been carried pretty quickly and in a very collaborative manner. We've seen plenty of amendments from opposition parties that were carried. It's a great sign for the later study in Senate.
2. We have a much better bill than what we started with. There have been significant improvements. It's important, because it will actually force the government to do some things that would have otherwise been left to its goodwill.
It has been a week since Amélie Duranleau and I gave our testimony for @lasqdi in front of the HUMA committee , regarding #C22. While we will publish a brief next week (in both languages), let's do a quick recap of what we told members of the committee (long thread):
1. #C22 needs to be passed NOW. Do not amend it, do not add details, let's figure it out later in the regulatory process.
2. The Québec experience on working on the new Basic Income Program in the province proves it is possible to conduct a successful regulatory process with PWD organizations.
