Mail Service Tuesday am

On Sunday, the Senate took up Bill C-6 after the House of Commons passed the Bill on Saturday evening

The exact same process the House of Commons used to dispose of Bill C-6 was used in the Senate and after a couple of attempts by Liberal Senators to make amendments to Bill C-6 at 3rd Reading Stage, the Senate adopted Bill C-6 by a vote of 53 Conservatives to 26 Liberals and the Bill was given Royal Assent on Sunday, June 26th at 8:30pm Eastern Time or 5:30pm Pacific Time

The Senate is now on its' summer break until September 27th, 2011

CUPW (Canadian Union of Postal Workers) decried the act and suggested that all unionized workers should watch their back
