Global News says the Liberal government will change the bill set to be tabled Tuesday that would have granted the finance minister Mr. Morneau sweeping powers to spend money and raise taxes without Parliamentary approval. In a tweet late Monday night, the leader of the government in the House of Commons, Pablo Rodriguez, said that it would make changes to the federal government’s emergency response to the novel coronavirus. “We consulted with the opposition and will bring changes to the draft legislation,” read Rodriguez’s tweet. “We will always work collaboratively and respect the fundamental role of Parliament. The bill, which Global News has seen, was later denounced by the opposition in a statement from Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer on Monday night.
