Bill C-61 is not yet law in Canada. The bill was presented for first reading in the House of Commons last Thursday. The bill will not take effect until it passes through three readings in the House and then goes through the Senate as well. Only then will the Governor General give her consent and the bill will become law. The law, however, can come into effect at different times after that.
