Liberals introduce Omnibus Bill
The federal government tabled a wide-ranging budget bill Tuesday that includes legal changes to the powers of the Parliamentary Budget Officer as well as a new law that creates the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
The opposition says the legislation, at more than 300 pages, amounts to an omnibus bill at the very same time that the governing Liberals are separately proposing changes to the parliamentary rules that would make omnibus bills illegal.
At first glance, opposition MPs say Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s latest budget bill appears to be an example of the very thing the Liberals say should be banned.

When Harper was in power the Liberals said they disagreed with the use of Omnibus Bills.
Once elected, they said they would bring in legislation banning Omnibus Bills.
But now they've just introduced an Omnibus Bill into Parliament.
Confused? Yeah, so am I.

Not in the least Merry, the federal Liberals lie just as much as the provincial Liberals do. I think it is in the Liberal DNA..
