Despite strong opposition from Conservative senators and many in the West, bills C-69 and C-48 (often nicknamed the "no more pipelines" and "tanker ban" bills) are both moving ahead. Senators rejected a committee report on C-48 Thursday, which called the controversial bill "unconstitutional and destructive to the fabric of Canadian federalism," and said it would be destructive to the economies of Alberta and Saskatchewan. C-48 is now headed for a third reading in the Senate, while a heavily-amended Bill C-69 will now be reviewed by the House of Commons. Former Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall has said passing the bills would lead to a "unity crisis" in Canada and could stoke separatism in western provinces. Wall joins John now to discuss the impacts the bills could have on Canada's national unity.
