The Tories, however, denounced the spectacle as a political farce. Speaker Andrew Scheer agreed to voting on most of more than 800 proposed amendments to budget implementation Bill C- 38, setting the stage for a marathon session of 24 hours or more that could begin as early as Tuesday. What's more likely, however, is the government will move to curtail debate on the bill, which is currently underway in the Commons, in order to set the stage for voting on the amendments to start Wednesday. By grouping the motions together, Scheer did save MPs some time by restricting the number of votes on the amendments to the bill, which weighs in at more than 400 pages and changes some 70 laws, including environmental regulation, social programs and tax laws. " I have made every effort to respect both the wishes of the House and my responsibility to organize the consideration of report- stage motions in a fair and balanced manner, " Scheer said. The opposition initially proposed more than 1,000 amendments, and a separate vote on each would have paralyzed the House for weeks. Scheer's ruling established that the motions would require no fewer than 67 votes and no more than 159. " The Speaker was put into what I would consider an almost impossible situation," NDP House leader Nathan Cullen said. " His ruling will confirm, though, that the opposition still does have some tools to hold government to account, that the government's not going to get away with this one easily, that they are going to have to pack their jammies as well." The Tories had hoped Scheer would throw out the amendments on the grounds they were intended to hold up parliamentary proceedings. " It's the opposition parties that are playing political games, playing games with process and making things look a little bit silly up here for our purposes as a government," Tory House leader Peter Van Loan said. " We're providing a hard- working, productive and orderly approach to getting our legislation through." The use of a budget implementation bill to make widespread legislative changes was the focus of a separate motion by Green party Leader Elizabeth May, who had asked the Speaker to rule the entire bill out of order. But the structure of Bill C- 38 itself falls within the bounds of correct parliamentary procedure, Scheer said. Given the Conservative majority, the budget bill will eventually pass. The NDP has said the fight could end in the government being brought down, arguing the votes are on a budget bill and therefore confidence motions, but parliamentary expert Ned Franks said they're wrong. " Budget implementation bills are not, by their nature, automatically matters of confidence," he said. - The Canadian Press OTTAWA - The life sentence imposed on Momin Khawaja, the first person to face charges under Canada's anti- terror law, should be reduced, the country's highest court was told Monday. Khawaja, a former Ottawa software developer, was sentenced to 10 � years in prison after his conviction in 2008, but two years later, the Ontario Court of Appeal increased his sentence to life in prison with no parole for 10 years. Khawaja's lawyer urged the Supreme Court to overturn that sentence and reestablish the original penalty. " I am asking court to say this unprecedented increase in sentence was wrong," lawyer Lawrence Greenspon argued. " A life sentence in this case is unfit for the offence and the offender." The Supreme Court's eventual ruling will likely be precedent- setting. Khawaja's appeal is focused on the legal definition of " terrorist activity." Canada's terrorism law, enacted two months after the 9- 11 al- Qaida attacks on the United States, includes a section that requires prosecutors to prove terrorist conduct was performed for political, religious or ideological reasons. At Khawaja's trial, Justice Douglas Rutherford ruled the motive provision was unconstitutional but still ordered the trial to proceed. In 2010, the appeal court overturned Rutherford's constitutional ruling in addition to increasing the sentence. Khawaja was convicted in 2008 of training at a remote camp in Pakistan, providing cash to a group of British extremists and offences related to building a remote- control detonator. - The Canadian Press Anti- terror law debated in top court Parliamentary spectacle set to continue Speaker rules multiple votes OK By Stephanie Levitz '( The Tories) are going to have to pack their jammies' ADRIAN WYLD / THE CANADIAN PRESS House of Commons speaker Andrew Scheer delivers his ruling on Monday.
