Hate to say this is not correct but it is not correct, C-6 was skipped , it was the 2nd bill on "messages from the HoC" and they went straight to Bills 3rd reading which is Bill -16

You are mixing up the "bills on today's agenda" overview with the "order and notice paper". The latter is relevant for the order in which bills are called.

There are currently two government bills before the Senate: C-16 and C-6.

Bill C-4 has been in the Senate for about three weeks. I was discussed several times. Today it was voted through and therefore finished.

Bills basically never pass in the first sitting. The Senate debates almost everything more than once.

C-24 was debated only once in each reading/committee meeting in the senate.

Yes but that was the Senate of the Harper era. The current senate likes debating much more.

Mostly they are the same senators from the Harper era but the majority are conservatives that is why they like debating government supported bills.

Yes that's why I mean. The conservatives are in the opposition now. And obstructing the proceedings despite not having a majority is the conservative's strength.

Also note that of the currently 98 senators, 27 were appointed by Justin Trudeau.

Yes. I expect the conservatives to debate the whole bill again and again as a delay tactic but eventually it will pass.
