Bill C-6: Senate stage

I don't really find it that surprising. They are, after all, the ones who have experienced first hand to be judged by their language skills in a second language.

True, not surprising. Just interesting!

Does it means that possibly voting today?

WTF! The guy can't barely read his speech and talks about language skills...!!!!!

His English is actually quite fluent, although with a thick Singaporean accent...

I understand your point... As proponent of democracy, concurring the decisions made by the elected body, that is the House of Commons, make most sense, specially at this stage when this bill took its time in Senate! (Again just my personal opinion

I completely agree with your opinion. I'm just saying it is a good thing that whatever the Chamber the bill is in there is an actual exchange of arguments happening and not just votes where the majority just "whips everything through". In the end, the majority deserves to win, but I think it is a matter of respect and dignity to not just say "let's do it this way" but to explain yourself, even if you believe yourself to be in the majority.

She used the word, "hopefully"... so fingers crossed!

Hoping for the vote today!
