PARLIAMENT HAS PASSED THREE CONSERVATIVE PRIVATE MEMBERS BILLS
All three Bills have now made their way to the Senate where they will go through three votes and a study at a committee before receiving royal assent.
Bill C-208
Creating equality for business owners selling to family
Bill C-208, if passed in the Senate will allow small businesses owners to receive the same tax treatment when selling their operation to a family member as they would when selling to a third party.

Compassionate care leave extension for more time to mourn
Bill C-220, if passed in the Senate, Compassionate Care leave will be extended up to three weeks beyond the death of a loved one, to give people the time they need to mourn.
