OTTAWA – The Conservative government is introducing a long-awaited victims’ bill of rights in the House of Commons today, hoping to burnish its reputation as tough-on-crime Tories.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is marking the occasion at an event in Mississauga, Ont., alongside Justice Minister Peter MacKay and Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney.<\/p>\n

And with Harper out of town, the House of Commons committees will get a share of the spotlight today as they tackle key issues on Parliament Hill.<\/p>\n

Executives from the Railway Association of Canada, Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. and Canadian National will be before the Commons transportation committee talking about hauling dangerous goods.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Commons house affairs committee will continue hearings on Bill C-23, the government’s controversial effort to change election rules.<\/p>\n
