During that committee, the Conservatives proposed 19,600 amendments to the 18-page bill. That number decreased to 200 once the bill left committee and headed back to the House of Commons.

Government House leader Steven MacKinnon said Thursday those amendments were “robo-amendments created by AI.”

[Conservative Leader Pierre] Poilievre now will have to have his members come here and vote for as long as it takes on a couple of hundred amendments that survived that robo-amendment process that they admitted was undertaken by artificial intelligence, by robot caucus members and robot parliamentarians," he said.

99% of the amendments were actual GPT-fluff.

How do you even make 20,000 amendments to an 18 page document? Did they change every word individually?

In late March, during a committee discussion about an unrelated topic, Stubbs denied the Bill C-50 amendments were computer generated.

“Because the fact is that the ‘just transition’ is a global, top-down, socialist agenda to central-plan a forced economic — not only energy — transition away from the sectors and businesses that underpin all of Canada’s economy: energy, agriculture, construction, transportation and manufacturing,” she said.

Hahahaha, nothing says ‘socialist agenda’ like the Liberal party. Is this embarrassing to Con voters? Or do they actually think this stuff?

Second highest paid parliamentarians in the world, folks.

When it moved to the natural resources committee in November for study, the debate descended into a chaotic mess and lengthy filibuster that at one point had MPs screaming at each other to shut up.

The noise was so loud during the final meeting in early December that two MPs voted the wrong way on a motion because they couldn’t hear what was being proposed.

Man every time I read stuff like this or watch some of the videos from the house, it makes me realize how sad and pathetic this all is. Seriously? I can’t imagine how my work would react if I began screaming and berating a coworker.

MacKinnon said the Conservatives were getting a “time out,” but the time has come for the bill to move forward.

“[Conservative Leader Pierre] Poilievre now will have to have his members come here and vote for as long as it takes on a couple of hundred amendments that survived that robo-amendment process that they admitted was undertaken by artificial intelligence, by robot caucus members and robot parliamentarians,” he said.

“This is not the way to make progress for Canadians, it’s not the way to make progress for climate change and it is not the way to offer economic opportunity for Canadian workers.”

Of course the party that voted against confirming climate change exists are fucking this, it’s all they do. The icing on the cake is how embarrassing using AI to try to create amendments is should be for them.

Does this bill do anything to strengthen unions? I read unions support it but haven’t dug into whether it does anything directly for unions.
