The Parliament of Canada website reports that
The Governor General informed the Speaker of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Commons that the First Session of the 39th Parliament was prorogued on Friday, September 14, 2007. Prorogation is the ending of a parliamentary session.
The Speech from the Throne, which will open the Second Session of the 39th Parliament, will be read on Tuesday, October 16, 2007.
This means that Bill C-33 died on the order paper and that the Government must re-introduce it when the next session begins sitting. Bill C-33, of course, included the new rules for NRTs, FIEs, non-competes (new section 56.4) and split receipts (for charities), among other things. The split receipt proposals have been around since December, 2002!
