On June 18, 2012, after voting on over 800 proposed amendments, the House of Commons passed Bill C-38, Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act, the omnibus legislation intended to give effect to certain key initiatives outlined in its Budget 2012. Bill C-38 now moves to the Senate for review and confirmation.
