In this thread, any individual may nominate a bill, resolution, or other legislative item to be placed on the next docket as a Private Member's Bill.

Party Leaders may indicate the endorsement of their whole caucus, or part of their caucus. MPs who aren't party leaders may only lend their individual endorsement, unless prior approval is given by the Speaker or an Admin.
To nominate a bill for a PMB docket, please link to a bill in the hopper. To endorse a bill for the PMB docket, please fill out the below form and post it below:
Bill Name:

You may also withdraw your endorsement of a bill before it is placed on the docket. To do this, please indicate your withdraw and, if a party leader, indicate how many members of your party also withdraw.
Please PM me with any questions!
