Debates in HoC finished, a final vote is scheduled some time after 3pm. It should pass.

I personally hold a different point of view. I think Liberals did a good job letting Cons attacking the dual national part. The single clause attracted most attentions and hence minimum debates were on others including 3/5 rule. Should the bill include only 3/5 rule, Cons would pour all...

How long does it usually take to Royal Assent after passing Senate? I noticed that C-4 and C-18 have been in the queue waiting for Royal Assent for almost a week. Another question is that, say a bill passes Senate at the last seating day, can Royal Assent be obtained during the summer vacation...

WOW so the bill is going to be voted without the need of time allocation :D Sounds too good to be true. I become more and more optimist about the bill :p

Can the time allocation motion occur tonight? Or it has to be notified tonight and voted tomorrow?

I meant if they planned to seriously object the bill at this stage, they should have focused on the amendments. There are lots arguments can be made to convenience others to vote nay for the bill. Instead, she is just using her time to put lots of unrelated issues on board. I'm sure the Cons is...

I view Ms Michelle Rempel's speed as good news. She is attacking the government's policy from all the points, but not the amendments. She is on opposition side, and hence she simply cannot just saying that we conservatives support the bill. As her speech is almost completely unrelated to Bill...

I viewed it as bad news because it would bring longer useless debate and potentially delay the bill. From the voting records of third reading in the Senate, more senators disagreed lowering the age bracket and hence such an amendment passed. Although the Senate less-likely insists the...

This is the first time I feel optimistic about C-6; although I'm about to become a victim for such a long delayed bill. Okay, there are 3 amendments from the Senate, the government accepts 2 of them and rejects 1: 1. Appeal right when revoking citizenship: [Good news] Changes from HoC is...

There is another speculation that the government is preparing another bill to properly address the issues about the rights to appeal and minor applicants. In this case, all Senate's amendments will be rejected by HoC but the Senate would not insist the amendments. Although Senate's amendments...

I'm not saying the HoC will refuse the amendments, nor the HoC will accept them. I meant we would know a 99% confident indication by this weekend from whether the government would appeal Hassouna v. Canada.

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...

I simply meant pre-PR credit would come into force before 3/5 rule for the purpose of not to accumulate large backlogs. I guess 2-6 months apart is reasonable. Again it's just my speculation.

Thank you all for information and opinions. I have been silently follow the thread for quite a while, now I feel like to share some personal opinion about when 3/5 rule comes into force. By reading the coming into force clauses and transitional provisions, I suspect following may happen once...

This may also be the reason why C-4 was skipped today as Mr Hussen seconded the rejection of Senate's amendments.

You are right... I just went through the video recording after seeing this post; C-4 was not mentioned at all.
