How are MPs passing so many bills without voting?

MPs don't officially have to vote in order to pass bills in the House of Commons and it appears to be happening more frequently than usual this session of Parliament. Passing legislation "on division" allows members of Parliament to approve bills without having to register their support or their disapproval. CBC News conducted an analysis of more than two decades' worth of parliamentary journals examining when MPs opted to allow bills to pass through the House on division. Still, only about a quarter of the bills that passed at third reading during the 43rd Parliament did so without a standing vote. "New Democrat MPs and Green MPs might indeed want a recorded vote so that our voters know where we stand on legislation," she said.

Federal minister hopes to ‘move up’ Sisson Mine decision | CBC News | New Brunswick

TLDRThe federal natural resources minister, Tim Hodgson, hopes to accelerate the timeline for the Sisson Mine project in New Brunswick. The $579-million project, which would extract tungsten and molybdenum, has faced delays due to low mineral prices. However, concerns about China's dominance in the tungsten supply have renewed interest in the project. The federal government is working with New Brunswick and the proponent, Northcliff Resources, to move up the final investment decision target to 2027. The project is eligible for faster approvals and financing support, and the government is also working on offtake agreements and price floors to secure long-term buyers for the minerals.

Senior charged $70/day while waiting in the hospital for long-term care — why some patients face daily charges

Senior man in hospital bedJack MacTavish and his family went through the ringer last Christmas. The ALC Charge is invoiced to patients in hospitals that no longer require its services but are waiting to be transferred to a suitable care facility (2). According to the Alberta government, the $69.20 fee is the amount an individual would be charged to stay in a shared room at a continuing care home. The policy think tank also notes that annually, an average of 4,760 Albertans were in hospital beds while waiting for spots to open up in continuing care facilities. Individuals who may face financial hardship from the charge can seek “possible government support and other benefits,” according to the Alberta legislature — the ALC charge does not apply if the transfer is for end-of-life care, however.
