Il reste encore au projet de loi, tel qu'amendé, à passer au vote au Sénat. Et comme il aura été amendé, il retournera, pour approbation, aux Communes.
La sénatrice Omidvar croit réaliste d'espérer une sanction royale le 13 avril, au plus tard.
maybe it s wrong in the article http://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1026272/senat-modification-loi-revocation-citoyennete

Ratna Omidvar, the independent senator who fought to ensure a right of appeal to people whose citizenship is being revoked, is nearing the end of her troubles.
The Canadian Press
The Senate finally adopted Tuesday night the Senate's amendments to Bill C-6 after weeks of debate and parliamentary maneuvers.
In the minute following the vote, won by 50 to 33, the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association (CBLAA) and the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers (ACAADR) applauded, by press release .
The bill, as amended, remains to be put to the vote in the Senate. And as it has been amended, it will return, for approval, to the Commons.
Senator Omidvar believes it is realistic to expect royal assent by April 13 at the latest.
The primary purpose of Bill C-6 was to reverse the Harper government's revocation of Canadian citizenship to anyone with dual citizenship who is guilty of certain crimes. During the election campaign, the Liberals had repeated the slogan "A Canadian is a Canadian", denouncing the different treatment that a citizen born elsewhere would experience.
But this bill maintained the revocation of citizenship for misrepresentation without offering a right of appeal. It is this shortcoming which is being corrected by the amendments adopted on Tuesday evening.
The Trudeau government, after offering resistance to the House of Commons, was prepared to accept amendments to the Senate. It is here that the Conservatives have engaged in maneuvers to delay the inevitable, not being enough in the Senate to decide the fate of a bill.
For example, last week, every Conservative senator rose to debate C-6 and asked that the debate be suspended. This led to a vote on the suspension, which was called, by means of bells, for an hour. The ride lasted several hours.
I'm satisfied. I am very pleased that we have restored a fair procedure for citizens who lose their citizenship.
Senator Ratna Omidvar
The Senator has led her struggle with the support of the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association (CBLAA) and the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers (ACAADR).
"This amendment corrects the absurd situation whereby a Canadian who is at risk of losing his citizenship and being banned from his country has no right to be heard and has no opportunity to fully defend himself. On the other hand, if a Canadian gets a ticket for illegal parking, he has the right to a court hearing to defend himself, "Josh Paterson, CEO of the CCBLA, said in a statement.
The two associations had begun a struggle in the courts to obtain the right of appeal that will ultimately be contained in the law.
Senator Omidvar, in an interview with La Presse canadienne, showed some impatience. "In the end, we have to say, we have this bill in the Senate since September. It's time we do our job, "she exclaimed

fair enough. But 2 questions:omss said:
1- Does receiving royal assent mean it becomes a law?
2- And I don't understand how it can receive royal assent without going back to the HoC for the last step of voting. Can someone familiar with the process please explain?
