The chosen priorities

As expected, four bills were approved by the House of Commons yesterday and should make it into law before Monday based on streamlined Senate procedures:

The four bills that were passed earlier yesterday include a home-heating rebate, stiffer laws relating to drugs and organized crime, new options for natives to manage oil-and-gas revenues and a bill protecting a maximum of $3,000 in wages per employee in the event of a company bankruptcy.

Due credit to all four parties for ensuring that these initiatives were approved quickly. Hopefully the example of these four bills will help to point out the difference between genuine (and worthy) government priorities, and the pre-election grab bag which nobody expected to pass.
