Just watched her on CBC. She said she has already discussed c36 with her Dep Minister and she will review c36 as well as consult with all affected parties. She also said she is going to be a strong defender of The Charter. It's still early days and I'm not suggesting we should read too much into her comments at this stage, but this is much better news than we would be getting if Harper had been re-elected with a majority.
New AG of Canada will review C36

It is possible but the Senate is not elected officials and thus might be more inclined to vote less on political basis.
Jody Wilson-Raybould's father gets the best of ************ Trudeau.

This is fantastic! I heard this earlier today as well. Time to get back into political action! It's a new challenge, a new gov, and that means new possibilities.

The new Liberal government doesn't have to wait for a private party to mount a court challenge of Bill C-36, they could refer the law directly to the SCC for a legal opinion like they did with the Clarity Act.
"On 30 September 1996, Dion submitted three questions to the Supreme Court of Canada constituting the Supreme Court Reference re Secession of Quebec:"
around the 3 minute mark as well.
this is great news! the fact that liberals won such a large majority shows canadians categorically reject the previous government's decisions.
the people have spoken, now our elected representatives must act!!!
That is a great exchange and you can see that Trudeau appreciated the verbal exchange even if he did not get the last word.
I agree. I was thinking the optics might look better if the Liberals can say that it was the SCC that shot down a bad Conservative law.
They can easily say that the bill did not address the concerns of the supreme court. (and it clearly does not) and as such a new bill will be forthcoming that addresses those concerns. Who knows, they may ban it completely!!!
What would be the timeline on this? I know the Liberals have a lot on their plate at the moment. I'm just really hoping that they're serious about getting rid of C-36 as it stands now, and not just saying it for effect. This is a serious matter, and the government should treat it as such.
Well they could ban prostitution completely, although I would say it is unlikely. I would expect C36 to be addressed before next summer break. I think Trudeau wants to rip the old Harper bills to shreds. I think C51 will take priority though.
Trudeau voted against bill-c36 and the end of 3rd reading in the house

So, given that it's common knowledge now that the AG will review C-36, would that make LE that much more hesitant to actively enforce the bill on consenting adults? (Of course, they really haven't bothered us so far, anyway). I only bring it up since whenever there is a challenge, or a pause by government, LE usually states that they will take a 'wait and see' approach before deciding on a definitive course of action.
If the senators continually delay passage of bills it will only get people worked up again, put the Senate under more scrutiny and renew calls to reform or abolish.
Esp since Wallin and Brazeau will be back at the trough.
