Farm Debt Mediation Act
The ''Farm Debt Mediation Act'' (S.C. 1997, c. 21) ("FDMA") is an act of the Parliament of Canada that enables a debt advisory service to insolvent farmers by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, as well as certain protective provisions available to help facilitate mediation with creditors while allowing such farmers to continue their operations. Background While the '' Farm Debt Review Act'' already allowed protection for farmers in financial difficulty, it was seen as being too broad in scope, where even hobby farmers could receive protection from creditors. The Act's structure of exercising authority through a network of appointed boards was also viewed as being too decentralized. In April 1997, the FDMA received Royal Assent, and it was brought into force in April 1998.

Jobs, Growth And Long-term Prosperity Act
The ''Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act'' (informally referred to as Bill C-38) is an Act of the Parliament of Canada. This omnibus bill was introduced by Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance under Prime Minister Steven Harper's majority Conservative government as a 2012 Budget Implementation Act. Bill C-38 was given Royal Assent on June 29, 2012. Bill C-38 and Bill C-45 attracted controversy both for their size (c. 450 pages each) and for the breadth of provisions contained that were not fiscally related. Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party, claimed (Levitz June 2012) that, " spite of the fact that most Canadians have no idea how seriously Bill C-38 will affect their lives, the Senate is about to begin hearings so that Conservative Senators can vote on it as soon as possible...
