First Nations Elections Act Soon To Be Passed

The Harper Government is bringing Bill S-6, the First Nations Elections Act, back to life and referring it to the Standing House Committee. on Aboriginal Affairs. The Committee could start its hearings on the Bill as early as next Tuesday. It is probable that the government will impose time allocation on the Bill, meaning that debate and witnesses could be cut back to a few days -- no one knows now how much time the government will allow.
