Folks please don't post commentaries. Let's just stick to final updates, there is another thread for "minute-by-minute" info.
Guys, great news: They are voting on C-6 TODAY.
They just had the voice vote which sounded in favour. They will have the roll call at 5:12pm.
I repeat. Bill C-6 will become law at 5:12pm today.
This is not a drill.

Will royal assent happen today? As far as I know some bills are still awaiting royal assent although they are eligible to be laws.
There is a big royal assent ceremony planned before the summer break, where the Governor General actually comes to the Senate in person. He will then take a seat on the throne. The bill will then be brought before him (literally, the physical bill) and he will then nod his head once. That's all it takes.
It's a rather elaborate ceremony that is done about once a year.
This is, by the way, the reason, why several bills are piling up in the "Awaiting Royal Assent" section on Legisinfo. Normally he would just sign them into law, but they are intentionally piling things up for the ceremony.
That is the reason for:
No. 110. By the Honourable Senator Bellemare:
June 14, 2017— That photographers and camera operators be authorized in the Senate Chamber to photograph and videotape the next Royal Assent ceremony, with the least possible disruption of the proceedings.

There will be nice photo session in the parliament.
