Bill C-6: Senate stage

[vasyok]

Does anyone know why the libs are changing this

"(3.1) Subsections 3(2) to (4), subsections 4(1) and (3) and section 5.1 come into force one year after the day on which this Act receives royal assent or on any earlier day or days that may be fixed by order of the Governor in Council."

into this

"proposes that amendment 8 be amended by replacing all the words after “(3.1) Subsections” with the following words “3(2) and (3) and 4(1) and (3) and section 5.1 come into force on a day to be fixed by order of the Governor in Council.”. " ?

After reading this thread, I was under the impression that they would implement C-6 asap... but now they want to remove the "deadline" for implementation of at least parts of the bill... Is it safe to assume that they have no plans on implementing the mentioned parts of the bill in the next 12 months? If so, what about other parts of the bill? Have we heard anything concrete from the government about that?

Can they debate and vote on the same day?

Seriously once the bill is passed all of avid readers, commentators, analysts and speculators on this discussion will become redundant.

That's good, I don't think they want to wait for a year after the Royal Assent, so they want the flexibility to implement it sooner.

True. However, this forum will also be useful to track how quickly our citizenship applications are processed once C-6 is implemented. A lot of concerns have been expressed about the initial sudden inrush of applications.

The Senate is to commence with it's sitting at 1.30 pm today. I would guess around 2.30 pm, once they have finished with Routine Proceedings (30 mins) and Question period (30 mins).

A) The public consultations are not regarding the bill itself but regarding the regulations that are implemented after. Something on the level "How should we design the forms" or "Which proof of language should we accept" etc. Notice, for example, that the law only says you need to demonstrate language skills. The law does not specify HOW they are to be demonstrated. Regulations do that. Note: I'm not saying that they will discuss proof of language details, I was just giving an example.

Public consultation is a must formal procedure; in case anyone has an objection (if any).... same as the marriage, the breast declares a husband and wife after consulting the attendance if anyone has objection to say it or keep silent forever. This is a normal practice for contracts (i.e. Land buying)...etc.

It's not true a consultation about the forms. For example, the forms have to be revised immediately after Royal accent in order to omit "intention to reside" that come into force at the Royal accent meanwhile there is no time for consultation. !!

Of course they won't discuss the forms in detail at those hearings. I was just giving an example of things that are sorted out on the level of hearings for changes in regulations.

I'm afraid you misunderstood my post. They already have this "flexibility" - the current wording just ensures that the implementation takes less than one year (i.e., they have 1-365 days to implement). The proposed change removes this, which means that, in theory, they can take more than one year to implement.
