The NDP government is having trouble with its legislative agenda because it is not calling an inquiry into the Crocus Investment Fund

According the rules of the legislature, today was an important milestone. Bills which received second reading by today, and a select few additional bills which have a few more days to get second reading will be certain of passage by the end of our spring session on June 13.

Bills which did not get second reading by today may not get passed by June 13. This means the government may have difficulties in completing its spring agenda.

The only reason the government is having trouble with its agenda is the government's failure to call a public inquiry into the Crocus Investment Fund. Kevin and I will keep the pressure on the government to call the inquiry.
