interesting don't think there was any news of the bill being sent to any comittee..anyone has any idea what this article is speaking about?
Bill C-6: Senate stage
- Thread starter marcher
- Start date
The extra budget was for getting more new refugees and immigrants faster, not for citizenship processing. Actually the citizenship business of CIC is the lowest priority and least important of all. Here is the budget and resources planning for the citizenship processing in the next few years, they are actually decreasing.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/rpp/2016-2017/#a2.3.2.2
2016-2017
FTEs: 746
Spending: 59,242,589
2017-2018
FTEs: 730
Spending: 57,832,643
2018-2019
FTEs: 727
Spending: 57,482,618
Even without C-6, the processing time has been increasing significantly in recent months as the applicants which were delayed by C-24 became eligible since this year. Anyone should be dreaming to think CIC cares about citizenship processing time.
Despite of saying so, if you look at the actual Performance Measurement, CIC put "TBC based on operational capacity" for processing citizenship applications. They are not promising anything about processing time.
They were also planning to update "Discover Canada" this year, so far nothing is done.
Anyone would be foolish to believe CIC about what they plan to achieve.

see this is what i call speculation..give me one good reason why a government department like CIC have an agenda of it's own to care or not care about would-be-citizens..ADM of the the department reports to the concerned deputy minister or minister..ultimately if the minister orders that times should decrease the department will prepare a note on the same and act to the best of their ability..but to say that CIC doesn't care..well...
This doesn't interfere with C-6 at all. Not even remotely. There is no more committee stage happening.

Can we please stop playing the game "I searched on Google News for the keywords "Canada Citizenship" and copy-pasted any link here that I could find"? It's only making people unnecessarily nervous.
Let's follow these steps instead:

I, for a fact, just heard that a Conservative MP together with a CIC employee who hates processing citizenship applications just broke into the vault[*] on Parliament Hill where they keep the originals of bills and stole the copy of C-6 which will now delay the process by another two years!
[*] yes, there is such a vault. A friend of mine who works at a Starbucks close to Parliament Hill told me that a guy who works on Parliament Hill told him that he overheard someone telling someone that in a recent meeting they talked about such a vault.

Not directly, but yes it relates to the challenges the liberals are facing in the HoC - especially given it is the opposition minister for Imm.

The Liberals decried that change, but never tried reversing it in their immigration reform Bill C-6. So the Senate did, sending the amended bill back to the House, where it’ll be under consideration this week.
I hope is true.

Maybe it's true. It's just a journalist guess. However, we all think that bill c6 will be read this week. But the question is whether the senate will have enough time to approve it.
there is still alittle hope, I think there is 13 more sitting on senate before summer break, if c6 pass HOC then...
The deadline for the government to file an appeal Hassouna v. Canada is the coming Saturday. IMO if the government decides not to appeal, Bill C-6 will go much smoother and it should not take long even if it is not discussed in the HoC this week. If the government decides to appeal, it pretty much means that HoC will not accept Senate's amendments and the Bill probably won't pass until the appeal finishes.
So let's see watch the progress of the government's response to the case. We'll at least have an idea of the future of Bill C-6 by this Saturday.
P.S. I should have explained Hassouna v. Canada is the case which Federal Court decided stripping citizenship without hearing is unconstitutional. It is closely related to Senate's first amendment to Bill C-6.

Why do you think that the amendments will be refused by hoc?
The core of the bill wasnt amended
Just two simple clauses were amended
I don't think you read the article. This is an article that summarizes different topics about things that happened in Ottawa this week. Only the first part of the article is about Scheer, the rest is about completely different topics, including C-6.
