I don't know these are my thoughts, from the email from Senator Harder what I gathered is that the bill could be delayed but can't be forgotten
Good suggestion, although a quick research about Senator Eaton shows that she is a strong anti-Liberal and anti-Justin Trudeau individual. She made some harsh comments about JT before, a bit beyond what a politician from the opposing party would say. She also removed her twitter account after going on rants about bike lanes and the city of Toronto ..etc. We can try contacting her, but do you really think she cares? By the sounds of it, she must despise us and think we should not be in this country to start with. But it won't hurt to try. We have nothing to lose. What I want to understand is why would the Cons delay this bill rather than rejecting it. Either they know it will eventually be approved, so the longer it takes the more C-24 is in place (not sure what benefit that brings to them). Or probably it is so unimportant that they are just not bothering to consider it. To be fair to the Cons though, they are not obliged to table it because they are not the creators of C-6. If Libs or independents decide to bring it up, no one will stop them. I have a feeling it is on Senator Omidvar's desk now, and unless she drafts the amendments and brings the discussion back, then no one will.
