The Honourable Rebecca Alty (Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations), seconded by the Honourable Ruby Sahota (Secretary of State (Combatting Crime)), moved, — That the motion be concurred in.

The question was put on the motion and it was agreed to on division.

Pursuant to Standing Orders 68(2) and 69(1), on motion of the Honourable Rebecca Alty (Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations), seconded by the Honourable Ruby Sahota (Secretary of State (Combatting Crime)), Bill C-27, An Act to give effect to the Final Self-Government Agreement for the Tłegǫ́hłı̨ Got’įnę and to make consequential amendments to other Acts, was introduced, read the first time, ordered to be printed and ordered for a second reading at the next sitting of the House.

Recommendation
(Pursuant to Standing Order 79(2))
Her Excellency the Governor General recommends to the House of Commons the appropriation of public revenue under the circumstances, in the manner and for the purposes set out in a measure entitled “An Act to give effect to the Final Self-Government Agreement for the Tłegǫ́hłı̨ Got’įnę and to make consequential amendments to other Acts”.


The order was read for the consideration of the amendments made by the Senate to Bill C-12, An Act respecting certain measures relating to the security of Canada's borders and the integrity of the Canadian immigration system and respecting other related security measures.

The Honourable Rebecca Alty (Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations) for the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree (Minister of Public Safety), seconded by the Honourable Ruby Sahota (Secretary of State (Combatting Crime)), moved, — That a message be sent to the Senate to acquaint Their Honours that, in relation to Bill C-12, An Act respecting certain measures relating to the security of Canada's borders and the integrity of the Canadian immigration system and respecting other related security measures, the House:

proposes that amendment 2 made by the Senate be amended by replacing the text of paragraph 75.1(3)(c) with the following: "the proportion of refugee protection claimants referred to in paragraph (b) who exited and re-entered Canada after the day of entry referred to in paragraph 101(1)(b.1) of that Act;";
agrees with amendment 3 made by the Senate; and
respectfully disagrees with amendment 1 because the amendment would remove Canadian citizens and permanent residents from the clear and transparent information-sharing framework established by Part 5 of the bill, because information-sharing relating to these individuals already occurs under existing statutory authorities and would continue to occur in their absence from the framework established by Bill C-12, as the purpose of Part 5 is to replace the current patchwork of authorities with a single coherent regime that establishes consistent partners, clearly defined purposes, and modern privacy safeguards, and furthermore, because excluding Canadian citizens and permanent residents from these provisions would perpetuate existing inefficiencies, undermine modernization initiatives within the immigration system, and reduce the transparency and accountability that Bill C-12 intends to strengthen.

Debate arose thereon.

Motions

By unanimous consent, it was ordered, — That, in relation to its study of the forestry industry, three members of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources be authorized to travel to Helsinki, Finland; Lahti, Finland; Stockholm, Sweden; and Norrkoping, Sweden, in the spring of 2026, during an adjournment period, and that the necessary staff accompany the committee.

proposes that amendment 2 made by the Senate be amended by replacing the text of paragraph 75.1(3)(c) with the following: "the proportion of refugee protection claimants referred to in paragraph (b) who exited and re-entered Canada after the day of entry referred to in paragraph 101(1)(b.1) of that Act;";
agrees with amendment 3 made by the Senate; and
respectfully disagrees with amendment 1 because the amendment would remove Canadian citizens and permanent residents from the clear and transparent information-sharing framework established by Part 5 of the bill, because information-sharing relating to these individuals already occurs under existing statutory authorities and would continue to occur in their absence from the framework established by Bill C-12, as the purpose of Part 5 is to replace the current patchwork of authorities with a single coherent regime that establishes consistent partners, clearly defined purposes, and modern privacy safeguards, and furthermore, because excluding Canadian citizens and permanent residents from these provisions would perpetuate existing inefficiencies, undermine modernization initiatives within the immigration system, and reduce the transparency and accountability that Bill C-12 intends to strengthen.

The debate continued.

The question was put on the motion and it was agreed to on division.

Pursuant to Standing Order 76.1(5), the Speaker did not select any motion for debate.

The Honourable Joël Lightbound (Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement and Quebec Lieutenant) for the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree (Minister of Public Safety), seconded by the Honourable Ruby Sahota (Secretary of State (Combatting Crime)), moved, — That the bill, as amended, be concurred in at report stage.

The question was put on the motion and it was agreed to on division.

Accordingly, the bill, as amended, was concurred in at report stage.

Pursuant to Standing Order 76.1(11), the Honourable Joël Lightbound (Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement and Quebec Lieutenant) for the Honourable Gary Anandasangaree (Minister of Public Safety), seconded by the Honourable Ruby Sahota (Secretary of State (Combatting Crime)), moved, — That the bill be now read a third time and do pass.
