Bill 24 was introduced on June 18, 2020 and has now passed first and second readings. It is a large and complex omnibus Bill which amends 15 different laws at once. This would usually be the object of intense debate in the Legislature, because one Bill is revamping so many laws at once, so quickly. A review of the Hansard debates thus far shows that Opposition MLAs have had insufficient time to understand the impact of Bill 24 and its far-reaching implications.”
