You know what - you're right. Maybe C6 will NEVER EVER EVER EVER see the light of day!!!!I believe it's safe to assume that C-6 will never see the light before October, in case HoC returns it to the senate, no room will be left before summer break. The only possible way for C-6 to become a law in June, is HoC accepting all senates amendments.
I totally agree. I used to be of the opinion that this matter about children should be a separate bill. But judging by the arrogance of the government and how little they care about such measures that are very important but are not taken care of because the vast majority of Canadians wouldn't be affected (no "strengthening the middle class" there), I gotta say by now I see that dealing with this issue in this amendment was the only reasonable way to go. Note that even the UNHCR representative to Canada (UNHCR = United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, which is THE international organization for refugee matters) sent a letter of support for the amendment.I'm not "too excited" but I am flabbergasted that so many people seem to think their priorities trump other important issues. If the amendment was out of scope - it would have been voted as being out of scope, any senator could have shut it down. The fact is the amendment received almost unanimous approval across by parties - because it's an important issue. It's an issue that others have promised to fix over the years but haven't.
And FYI this amendment added very little time onto the bill in the SoC and even if it hadn't been discussed or passed, Bill C6 would be no further forward in the HoC.
The fact is C6 is now in its final stages so everyone just needs to chill and keep an eye out over the next week or so. The bill will pass - it's not a matter of "if" anymore. The only thing in question is the SoC's 3 amendments.
Everything in this country is progressing in a very slow pace, and C-6 is not an exception. Look at HoC, they put C-6 in the fridge for 5 weeks and the senates will not act differently.You know what - you're right. Maybe C6 will NEVER EVER EVER EVER see the light of day!!!!
There is many posts already that explain the path that this bill will take. For example, you can find the explanation in my initial post in the "facts only" thread.Guys!!!! Here is an update few minutes ago from our dearest sen. Omidvar: she is saying it will be discussed this week!!!!!!

No it is about all amendments. The 3 amendments will be rejected by HoC.I guess the ones abt age and language : /
The bill is close yet so far : /
Then senate will not accept the decision, it will back and forth forever?sighNo it is about all amendments. The 3 amendments will be rejected by HoC.
I hope so. We'll see.why
u will apply before 29 of june 2018, wait and u will see
Yes. Because of the C24 timeline indeed. And because I'm starting to think that I'm really not lucky with all this.Why do you think C6 will take another year to come into force..... because C24?
And do you have a direct line to the speaker or any senator.. Or are you just speculating. In 99% of cases senate accepts the messages sent by HOC as it represents the will of the people. So no matter what happens to the amendments in the HOC the history of previous bills are pointing towards senate accepting the HOC's decision. Also why would c6 take 1 year to come into effect.c24 took 1 year because it was giving those who already qualified under 3/5 and had not applied due to various reasons a chance to apply. With c6 no such scenario exists.. I know this is a discussion thread but the level of paranoia and negativity for no good reason at all sometimes gets to me.. Calm down and let the MPs and senators do their jobs.. Since April c6 has moved at an excellent pace.. Wait 1 more month and then you can moan all you want if the bill does not become law..Then senate will not accept the decision, it will back and forth forever?sigh
