Government signals bills unlikely to pass before election
Ottawa says a raft of late session bills are not intended to become law before the October vote. Peter Van Loan says the measures show a possible Conservative agenda if re elected, with chips on marine conservation, safety, copyright, and gun crime penalties. Senate reform remains a campaign issue as provinces resist abolition.

Court filing accuses Tory government of gun data duplicity
A Federal Court affidavit by investigator Neil O'Brien alleges Conservative officials pressured the RCMP to destroy long gun registry records while promising to preserve them. Federal information commissioner Suzanne Legault seeks a court order to retain remaining records as part of an Access to Information Act challenge. The filing points to PMO involvement and sparked debate in the House of Commons amid calls for charges and a broader legal fight over record destruction.
