A 2018, 556-page budget bill omnibus reminder of How "Undemocratic" the Liberals Are

 The Liberals came into power promising to end the use of omnibus bills, which they said were used “to prevent Parliament from properly reviewing and debating” matters, calling it "undemocratic."

Last year, the government amended the rules of the House of Commons to allow the speaker to split up omnibus bills for votes when there isn’t a common thread through various parts. This was meant to exclude budget bills, however on the government’s last budget bill, Speaker Geoff Regan found it to be omnibus, and allowed it to be divided up on the opposition’s request.

NDPLiberals Try to Sound Innovative, Take Credit For Mining Policies and Results That Are Already Happening in Canadian Mining

 "...In keeping with its past preference for tax credits, and as Trudeau’s Liberals advertised in their election platform, the budget includes a non-cash, new “Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit.”

The measure would allow mining companies to claim up to 30 per cent of specified exploration expenses related to critical minerals as a tax credit; or to be claimed as a flow-through share agreement, in which such tax credits are passed on to investors. That would last until March 2027.

The budget adds that the tax credit would help enhance Canada’s capital markets, perhaps setting up Toronto to take a leading role in global mining finance...."
