The Liberal government wants to impose "health breaks" to eliminate overnight voting in the House of Commons and to combat what they say is Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre's personal agenda to "obstruct and create chaos."Leader of the Government in the House of Commons Steven MacKinnon arrives for a cabinet meeting on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2024.
He billed the motion's main objectives as allowing the House to do its work, providing extensive time to debate bills and turning the House of Commons into a healthy work space. "It's not healthy for anyone. No nurse, no doctor, no concierge, no anyone in this country should be subjected to that kind of thing," MacKinnon said.
"I know this is not easy," he said at the time. "It's extra time away from family, it's hard on your health, but we have to make a point. We said we would fight to axe the tax."
