Word on the street is that the SECU committee meeting for today has been cancelled. Another bullet dodged.

Do you have anysource? June 7th was reverse Christmas for me, and now Reverse Christmas is coming back to haunt me today unless big Daddy JT being sick means it's canceled.

I don't see anything scheduled for Thursday on that page. Only future meeting listed when I'm seeing this is the 11 to 2 meeting today that was cancelled.

Thanks for the kind words brother, it's heartbreaking to put some much time and money into a passion to see it being destroyed by a bunch of deceiving politicians for not a single good reason.

At least I know I'm not alone in this situation

I'm not entirely clear where June 7th came from beyond sounding like doomsday dating from unchecked and unchallenged apophenia. Everything the government itself has said suggests nobody's in a position to provide hard dates until they do nor any reason to expect any sooner than this coming fall for one.

Well on the 7th they asked for unanimous consent which got turned down. Everyone was scared that it would be voted in that day.

I can see the Conservatives did on condition, and if for whatever reason the Liberals entertained that they would have to debate the conditions. I'm assuming the freeze would have been one of the contentious items they'd haggle out, and they'd need time to haggle anyway, otherwise the Conservatives would just be helping get this done faster.

This is all a pipe dream if the party calling for unanimous consent doesn't provide terms Parliament will unanimously agree to though, or any terms at all. The Liberals absolutely do not seem to be in a rush to beat their own fall deadline.
