OTTAWA — In what will be remembered as a historic precedent, the Senate is defying the House of Commons and insisting to amendments on an omnibus transportation bill. It’s been 12 years since the Senate went this far in disagreeing with the Commons. Last week, the Liberal-majority House agreed with three, tweaked a few more and rejected the rest. As C-49 continues to meet delays, pressure is mounting on Ottawa to pass the bill quickly. If not, since Parliament is on break next week, it could be late May before the two houses resolve their differences.
