    Very True. Another battle will start post Royal Assent. C-24 took 9 days till Royal assent but 1 year for implementation (which CIC will decide). Assuming it goes in June (Royal assent - which is a long shot), you are still looking for more than a year before it actually kicks off. And with...

    I am still not sure if 'Good Intentions' with weak leadership is better or worse than 'Unknown intentions with Strong leadership'. All said and done, Conservatives were able to deliver C-24 in 9 days and Libs are still 365 days and counting. I also believe in Justice delayed is Justice denied...

    To an extent, Liberals are themselves to blame. It was there top election priority but took a 'real' backseat post elections. If Conservatives succeed - then at least they are delivering to their audience. I don't understand the filibustering 'allowed' by liberals with the majority they have. I...

    And the Ping Pong continues. Senator Griffin's amendment to increase the age of language knowledge from 55 to 60 succeeded For-35 Against-27 Abstain-3 Libs opposed increasing age amendment but was still passed. Result is that it will be send to HoC and most probably they will reject it. They...

    From Financial Post today: [Senate proposes major amendment to Liberal citizenship legislation: ‘It goes a long way’] Debate was adjourned Thursday and the Senate now enters a two-week break, meaning votes on the amendment and the bill can’t happen until at least the week of March 28. If the...

    I think C-6 implies (or so lawmakers think) that Bill had to become Law in next SIX years... :P :P :P For C-24, it was 24 hours.... :o :o :o Enjoy the wait time. Utterly Bitterly Frustrating. Let's discuss it more and more and more.

    Well the alternative was similarly bad. Choose between lesser of two evils. Problem is that these guys turned out to be worse than conservatives as they showed the false hope - which is torture.

    I think Liberals are in no mood to get this Bill anywhere anytime soon. It's hopeless. Witnessed filibustering before BUT did not hope the same from people in power.

    Not to forget the implementation difficulties to effectively manage the expected massive 'delays' post approval. I had a lot of enthusiasm with the introduction of this bill but thanks to typical 'politics' - it had not only waned but now its being transformed to 'disdain'. Anyway, nothing we...

    I am also now inclined to think that Conservatives are not responsible for this apparent delay(s). Either some deciding factor is not visible to us (common public) OR Bill C-6 was more an electoral stunt. Either way, people awaiting for its implementation are frust.
