SENATE PASSES GLOBAL FORUM BILL

The Senate passed the 2024 Global Forum bill on Tuesday evening, as the Finance Minister sought to assure the public that Section 4 of the income Tax Act expressly prohibits him from getting access to personal and private tax information.

However, during the Committee stage of the bill, the Senate President instructed the Marshal of the Parliament to remove an Opposition Senator from the Parliament Chamber.
