Rather than threatening Senators (which is probably illegal) we should be sending then emails explaining respectfully the hardships and roadblocks caused by Bill C-24

I've read it in a few articles, this one for example talks about that provision http://ottawacitizen.com/news/politics/parliamentary-democracy-clip-n-save-faq-what-happens-if-the-senate-and-the-house-cant-agree-on-a-bill "In any case, there’s no limit on how long a “free conference” can go, but...

I understand that they will not pass the Bill as amended it's obvious, because the Senate is tearing the bill down piece by piece, the HoC will reject the amendments and send it back to Senate. That's where it comes back to uncharted territory, either the Senate will back off like they did with...

This Bill is not dead, stop saying this, even if sent with amendments, HoC will ultimately decide and probably reject these amendments. HoC always has last word on Bills, Senate will not burn their joker of killing a bill on Bill C-6, look at what happened with Bill C-14. Trudeau knows that if...

Plus C-24 took one year before it applied, C-6 is supposed to apply immediatly after royal assent, so timeline before creation and application would be similar for the two bills

You mean the need to stay 6 months per year in Canada to keep your Permanent Residency ?

I've done some research and apparently last year Senate completely amended Bill C-14 (assisted dying) to which Conservatives were virulently opposed, they had majority in the Senate. They presented the Bill back to HoC with 7 amendments. HoC sent back a message to Senate acceptiong minor...

Yup

These 3 amendments are debatable from the point of view of HoC acceptance. However amendments that would regard the terrorism thing or increasing residency requirements (I'm still waiting to see if the previous guy had actually a source for the 3.5/5 or if he made up that out of thin air) would...

Still, where did you get the info about the residency requirements amendment ?

Where did you get that ? Liberals will never agree to these amendments

It is strange tho that Senator McCoy did not vote against, she abstained

Senator Harder voted against the motion, I do not think that the government will approve that amendment

It passed I think, that is bad news

Cause 99% of the votes do not get any nays, it's designed to expedite votes. Standing votes are used to determine crucial votes

The nays had it, it's the speaker who didn't know how to proceed, the standing vote will likely cause the amendment to be rejected

Who's this new rookie speaker ?

Those were through tweets, no official channel. Now 3 differents senators rose and spoke in front of the whole Chamber to promise no obstruction and the government has given them a deadline, they cannot exceed it, they have to vote at that time

Yet to happen
