Study on Practice of Including Non-financial Matters in Bills Implementing Provisions of Budgets and Economic Statements

Honourable senators, with leave of the Senate and notwithstanding rule 5-5(k), I move:

That the fifth report of the Standing Senate Committee on National Finance, entitled Omnibus Budget Bills: A growing problem, tabled in the Senate on March 24, 2026, be replaced with a corrected version of the report adopted by the committee on March 25, 2026. In the earlier version of the report, a witness made a small error in explaining an element of a Senate proceeding, which the committee only discovered was incorrect afterwards. The correction is to ensure that the Senate proceeding is correctly described in the report.
