What They Voted On

Mr. Speaker, I would ask that it be carried on division, please.

What This Vote Is Really About

This vote was about a proposed law called Bill C-12. This law aimed to make Canada's borders and immigration system stronger. It gave the government more ways to gather and share information to protect the country. Think of it like this: the government wanted to update its security measures at airports and borders. This law allowed them to do things like check people's backgrounds more carefully and share information with other countries to stop criminals and terrorists from entering Canada. This law matters because it affects who can come to Canada and how the government keeps us safe. It also raises questions about privacy, since the government would have more power to collect personal information. Citizens should care because it impacts both security and individual rights.

This decision was made by "passed without counting" — no individual MP votes were counted.
