After final debate, senate gives thumbs up to Chignecto Isthmus bill

On today’s show, we listen in to some of the debate before the Canadian Senate approved a bill that would declare the Chignecto Isthmus Dykelands System for the “general advantage of Canada.” The bill was put forward by New Brunswick senator Jim Quinn, and was approved in a 55-10 vote in the Senate on Tuesday. Now it will move on to the House of Commons to be considered by elected members of parliament.
