“Madame Speaker, I was under the belief this had already gone through and discussed through committee on all these concerns that were brought forth,” added Stamer.

The vote was passed for the moment. But with division called, the NDP could use their majority to push the bill back to committee, something Stamer believes can be avoided through conversation.

“There are lots of moving parts here, but fingers crossed,” Stamer told CFJC News. “I think for the couple that stood up and had opposition to this, those questions were already answered at committee. And it’s a little bit embarrassing them even asking those questions because their members in the committee asked those same questions and they were answered. That is why at committee, it was passed unanimously.”

The vote to advance the bill to third reading will be held tonight at 6:00 p.m.

“Those concerns they have, have already been addressed, already been identified, have already been put in the amendments to the bill,” said Stamer. “I’m not entirely sure why this is but I’m just going to have to do my best behind the scenes to make sure we do get enough members on supporting this bill at 6:00 p.m. tonight.”
