Senate joins House of Commons in adjourning for a holiday break
OTTAWA — The Senate wrapped up its fall sitting today and has adjourned for a holiday break, a day after the House of Commons did the same.
Parliamentarians are not scheduled to return to Ottawa until the end of January.
Senators passed several bills before rising, including a Liberal government bill to implement the measures in the fall economic statement.
They also passed a private member’s bill that requires the minister responsible for economic development in the Prairies to come up with a green economic framework.
