Harper didn't get lost in the toilet, yet. He has acted fast and swiftly.

Has parliament right in there.

Conservatives attempt to fast-track tweaks to anti-terror law

As reported right here on Friday, today was originally scheduled to be an opposition day, but that call was abruptly scuppered after the Liberals went public with a pro-backbencher motion that newly elected party leader Justin Trudeau planned to put before the House for a vote,

Moments later, Government House Leader Peter Van Loan popped up in the Chamber to inform MPs that there had been a last-minute change to the schedule, ostensibly to allow the Commons to wrap up debate on those all but forgotten changes to the anti-terrorism regime that have been languishing on the Order Paper since February.

As a result, Trudeau won't get to introduce his motion until Wednesday afternoon, with a maximum of just two hours allotted for the ensuing debate.

Meanwhile, the Chamber will devote the day to discussing the aforementioned S-7, which would restore certain provisions related to investigative hearings, security certificates and other procedural issues, as well as make 'technical amendments' related to future parliamentary review of the law, which would allow for either the extension, or, alternately, sunsetting of those measures.
