Indeed anyone can be an MP. The real wonder is that such people actually get voted in by thousands!

Time allocation order needed...at the first opportunity!

Another tweet from the senator! We have been there before :) At least her heart is in the right place with regards to this bill! I respect that!

If that is what they wanted, they could easily have tabled the bill half-way through their term. They tabled it early in their term. I believe it is not the intent but the (in)competence of liberals that is the cause of the delays so far.

Sounds plausible. However, if the HoC response to the senate amendments had been worked out, it would probably take very little time to discuss the same in the house and send it to the senate and enhance the chances of passing it into law before the summer recess (something I do believe...

Sums up Canada - doesn't it! There is no logic or reason to things here. Best to keep one's own counsel; maintain a healthy balance to one's mind and body; and, hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Have a good weekend!

Where is our man with highly placed friends at the IRCC? Coffee1981 - any updates from your friends?

Spyfy - thank you for your efforts mate! If you are in GTA, I would love to buy you a drink. Let me know!

wooooooooo....hoooooooooooo!!!

Common sense and justice - quite simple! I wonder why it is so difficult to see for many in the Canadian Parliament!

Anyone hear anything further from Mississauga? Painfully slow :(

I would write to them and send it by registered post as well - just to ensure that I have evidence I sent it to them! Why take a chance?

Completely agree. Without a strong Liberal whip, expect this bizarre show to continue. But wait.... JT appointed several independents who are not obliged to go with the whips' directions! Oh boy!!

Of course! Except that proposed amendments to the core proposition of C6 - after almost an year of "debate" in the senate - are just deliberate delaying tactics and political gamesmanship that the opposition (naturally) would like to engage in; and that the government and the senate sponsor of...

The departments often do have a lot of say in shaping the legislation - and ministers often pay a lot of attention to these views. I agree, however, that the departmental views do not trump political imperatives. If they do, they are ignored. In this case, they don't and the minister might...

At last someone in the government seems to have realized that Senator Omvidar, Harder et al need a lecture on 'Political Maneuvers 01' and a lot of hand holding to get this bill through. We should see good movement now. At least (I hope) they will come back with instructions to jump up at the...

Of course every case is unique. I am talking about the sheer volume of applications this office must be processing if it is handling an area much larger than just Mississauga.

The explains - at least partly - the slow pace at the office!

Thanks! Was looking up the names from Mississauga so missed the two of you in the first pass :D

Could you please share you date of application and the date they started processing? Indicative dates will be good enough - you don't have to share the exact dates if you would rater not. Thanks
