And it was a deliberate strategy, so they could claim that the Liberals were a “do nothing” government. Far from reflecting “what people are saying”, all this delay just made people think they couldn’t trust the government to get on with things.
Carney isn’t putting up with that. And because the CPC uses Question Period as their personal video production studio, Carney isn’t attending as much as the CPC thinks he should either.  This also annoys the At Issue panel who grumph about “respecting democracy” – as if the level of questioning rises to that standard.
I made up a list of what has been handled, based on descriptions in the Canadian Press and CBC stories. A complete list of bills is here:

Bill C-9 creates new offences for intimidating or obstructing someone outside a religious or cultural institution. It also defines “hatred” in criminal law for the first time, codifying a definition put forward by the Supreme Court of Canada.
Bill C-11 [dealing with sexual offences in the military] This legislation enshrines in law that all sexual offences involving military members must be handled exclusively by civilian courts and police, rather than the military. The bill has passed both houses and is now awaiting royal assent. MacKinnon said the amendment added by the Senate requiring the law to be reviewed in three years was agreed to in order to end a back and forth with the Senate and get the legislation passed.
Bill C-14 Bail, which makes it more difficult to get bail for a variety of crimes, received royal assent Monday. The bill makes dozens of changes to the Criminal Code, including the introduction of a new reverse onus provision for certain offences — meaning the accused must prove they should receive bail, rather than a prosecutor convincing a judge that bail should be denied.

The offences include auto theft, extortion, break and enter involving violence, some human trafficking offences, car thefts linked to organized crime and violence involving choking or strangling someone.

People charged with a third violent crime, or who were convicted in the last decade of a similar violent offence involving a weapon, would also be affected by the change.

The law came after pressure from opposition Conservatives and most provinces following high-profile cases of violent crimes allegedly committed by someone who was out on bail.
Bill C-16 prohibits engaging in patterns of coercive or controlling conduct against an intimate partner. It also makes changes to treat murders driven by control, hate, sexual violence or exploitation as first-degree and defines these murders as femicide when the victim is a woman. The bill also expands the Criminal Code section prohibiting the non-consensual distribution of intimate images to apply to non-consensual deepfakes. That section was amended to ensure it covers “nearly nude” images, after experts warned the original version of the bill likely would not incorporate many of the images created by Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot that proliferated on his X platform at the beginning of this year.
Bill C-20, the Build Canada Homes Act, turns the federal affordable housing agency launched last September into a Crown corporation. The bill has passed third reading in the House of Commons and is expected to be up for consideration at committee and a final reading in the Senate. This legislation gives Build Canada Homes the power to own, develop, transfer and finance property for development — part of Liberals’ plan to scale up non-market housing in the country. It also allows Build Canada Homes to take over property rights held by the Canada Land Company, another Crown corporation that stewards federal lands.
Bill C-22 Lawful Access will ensure law enforcement agencies have the legal tools to prevent, investigate and respond to modern crime and protect Canadians in a manner consistent with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Bill passed the House Thursday but it has not yet been dealt with in the Senate. Opponents argue the legislation unnecessarily expands the powers of police and intelligence agencies, endangering privacy, flouting the Charter and making Canada less attractive to business. The Liberals agreed to several amendments to try to allay concerns, including shortening the time electronic service providers would be required to keep digital metadata. The bill initially could have required providers to retain metadata, which can reveal a person’s location and movements, for up to one year. That has now been limited to up to six months.
Bill C-27 [Tlegohli Got’ine Government] This final self-government agreement for the Tlegohli Got’ine Government Inc., in the Northwest Territories, was also passed at third reading and has been sent to the Senate.
Bill C-29 [Financial Crimes Agency]. This legislation sets up the new Financial Crimes Agency that is being designed to lead investigations into Canada’s most intricate and costly financial crimes, operating under the oversight of a commissioner. The unanimous consent motion pushed the bill through second reading and into committee where it will begin being studied by MPs when they return in the fall.
Bill C-30 Implementing the spring mini-budget – passed third reading in the House of Commons on Thursday, enacts certain measures from the Liberals’ spring economic update in April. They include codifying the temporary break on the federal fuel excise tax into law. The bill also reduces Canada Pension Plan contributions for employees and employers starting in 2027, extends the repayment grace period for withdrawals made under the Home Buyers’ Plan and makes permanent a capital-gains tax exemption for businesses sold via an employee ownership trust.
British Columbia MP Frank Caputo’s bill C-225 [Bailey’s Law] passed with widespread support and received royal assent earlier this month. The law will amend the Criminal Code to allow the killer of an intimate partner to be charged with first-degree murder regardless of whether the act was premeditated. The legislation is named Bailey’s Law after Bailey McCourt, a 32-year-old B.C. woman and mother of two who was killed last year. Her alleged killer was a former partner who was released on bail hours before the daylight attack at a Kelowna parking lot.
Ontario Conservative MP Adam Chambers’ bill C-230 [corporate tax writeoffs list] also passed unanimously and is now before the Senate. The bill would create a public registry of companies which receive tax writeoffs from the federal government worth more than $2 million. The original bill proposed a threshold of $1 million but it was amended at the committee stage.
Alberta Conservative MP Ziad Aboultaif also saw his bill C-234 [organ donor award] pass. It would allow the Governor General to award a medal to organ and tissue donors. It’s now before the Senate.
The House of Commons also passed two Senate bills.
Bill S-228 [criminalizing forced sterilization], which received royal assent earlier this week, criminalizes forced or coerced sterilization. The law says sterilization without legal consent constitutes aggravated assault, which carries a maximum penalty of 14 years in prison.
And Bill S-227 [Arab Heritage Month] passed Thursday as part of the motion to adjourn for the summer. The bill designates April as Arab Heritage Month across Canada.

Plus, two other bills were introduced this week

Bill C-34 the Safe Social Media Act
Bill C-36 Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act
Here is how investment company DLA Piper describes these bills:    On June 15, 2026, the Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation introduced Bill C-36, an Act to enact the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act (PPCDA). If passed, the PPCDA would replace Part 1 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), Canada’s 25-year-old federal private-sector privacy law, with a modernized framework that recognizes privacy as a fundamental right, creates a new regulator, and introduces significantly enhanced enforcement tools.
The bill arrives on the heels of the government’s AI for All: Canada’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy, which signalled that AI-related risks would be addressed through targeted legislation, including promised privacy modernization, rather than through standalone AI regulation. We discussed the strategy’s key commitments, regulatory gaps, and implications for organizations in a recent bulletin. It also follows the recent introduction of Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act, which establishes the Digital Safety Commission of Canada and imposes digital safety obligations on social media platforms, chatbot services, and other online services. Bill C-36 builds on that institutional foundation by expanding the mandate of the Digital Safety Commission to encompass data protection, renaming it the Digital Safety and Data Protection Commission of Canada.

I guess I could find questions about some parts of some of these bills, but several of them aren’t the law yet and won’t be until fall, if then. But I don’t think it is outrageous for the Liberal government to get them moving now, with the idea that they could be passed by Halloween, instead of next Easter.
