Good question by Monalisa, any one knows?

According to Senate Calendar there should be a fixed sitting tomorrow (13th), but projected agenda is not updated, does anyone have any idea about this?

Looks like no senate sitting tomorrow?

Great poetry

For Marcher Yes I agree with your opinion too- can be perceived as a threat, but they should stand on their own ground after they do their own sober second thought :) Below is the tweet by Linda Frum in a conversation with a person called @kady In reply to kady o'malley Senator Linda Frum...

"I also know you have been sent here to dispatch your duties in a non-partisan fashion, and so it seems apropos to be discussing Bill C-6 so early upon your arrival here, for if there was ever a bill that existed purely for partisan purposes, it is this one, which is why I must urge you, as you...

If not before Christmas, what sort of timelines did he have in mind did he know or have an idea. Would it be done at lease by Canada day of 2017?

But when bill c 24 was debated there was no opposition from the Liberals...it was only 16 days in Senate. They gave in without any fight

I saw in Linda Frum's twitter feed in a discussion between her and another person where she says that The Minister has asked for an amendment for bill c6. So this might be part of the whole delay as the govt want the amendment, they can't question the senate for taking so much time, and the cons...

Yes, otherwise this thread too will be deleted like the other one

Can someone kindly explain the following, does it mean only amendments or does it also include a new bill. Thank you in advance "The Senate has almost the same powers as the House of Commons. Bills are read three times in the Commons as well as in the Senate. The Senate can only delay...

I don't think this bill is least important. This was the first bill they presented after swearing in, and they need more immigrants to vote by 2019

;)And perhaps laughing at their power over delaying bill c 6 and relishing the anxiety they may be seeing through these forums

They've been "speeding" it up for SIX months now

Linda Frum who holds it now, will eat it but not to digest it...it will never come out of her, the majority government is powerless, very sad and what a ridiculous political system

I think the order of listing doesn't mean a thing. If they really want they can skip all the one's above (like what they are doing to C6) and then debate C6. Just that I think knowing that there are people interested to see this through they just take pleasure in delaying it

Question for dpenbill or any one, How long can they keep the bill in senate legally without doing anything (passing or failing)? Have they done this in the past? If bill c6 has broken any record, may be journalists should be talking about it...but on the other hand here in Canada even...

People should seriously start a petition to do away with the Senate. What a waste of tax payer's money

Time for government to take some action.

So no one spoke about it today?
