Royal Assent needed for Bill C-501

See the Canadian Parliament discourse in the debate on Bill C-501 at the following site:

http://openparliament.ca/bills/2201/

It seems that because Bill C-501 contains a clause that requires an adjudicator in case of dispute, and that might mean spending public funds, the bill has to receive assent by the governor general before it can be voted on in the house of commons.

I'm not sure what that means in terms of delay or if it will not be allowed for a vote.

As things become clearer I will publish what I find out.
