Champagne’s bid to roll out budget measures back on the House docket as sitting winds down – iPolitics
December 10th, 2025
What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
After signing off on $12 billion in add-on budget requests included in the latest supplementary estimates last night — in near-record time, it’s worth noting, with all required motions deemed adopted on division without a single recorded vote in just under ten minutes — MPs are set to circle back to Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne’s 634-page pitch to roll out measures announced in his inaugural budget, which is now back under second reading scrutiny after a Conservative-initiated call for the House to rebuff his request to send it to committee went down to defeat on Monday.
Depending on how the afternoon plays out, they might also begin report-stage review of the proposed border security overhaul, which, as iPolitics reported last week, the Bloc Québécois is expected to support, although without at least the tacit cooperation of the Conservatives, not likely to make it to a vote before the sitting wraps up.
