Canada Restricts Cabinet Power After Conservative Budget Demands

The Canadian government accepted Conservative amendments to Bill C-15 to restrict new cabinet powers that would have allowed ministers to exempt corporations from certain federal laws.These changes mandate public consultations, dual ministerial approval, and reports to Parliament within 90 days to ensure transparency for the proposed "regulatory sandboxes."The agreement follows negotiations between the Liberals and Andrew Scheer to secure the passage of the budget legislation, which is expected to serve as a confidence vote.
