Bill C-6: Senate stage

[subha_1962]

From the list of guests due to attend the senate committee meeting on March 1st, Robert Watt ( former citizenship judge) is someone dead against C6, specially the three year amendment and the reduced language barriers. Bad idea to have him as the last speaker and on the 2nd his ideas will be the one's that will be resonating in the minds of the senators.

But on the other hand if they have already made up their mind it will not matter - hope so

When is summer vacation for these poor hard working Senators ?

haha, probably they deserve a break after sitting in all those boring meetings

Hope bill c6 will come to power this 2017 year making eligible to apply for citizenship whole bunch of people

Good news,
This means that's it not going to be amended, it will be returned to senates not to HoC

I think there will be reporting stage then third reading, hope by april or may will become a law , since they work 2 weeks on april

Wow! I guess next Thursday will be really interesting.

Does anyone know if that is when amendments to the bill get introduced?

Still scared though that this bill might fail third reading. No one know how many senators are for it for sure.

You misunderstood. it will firstly be returned to senate for third reading which will approve the conclusions including any amendments made by the committee. after that, the recommendations, if there is any, will be returned to the commons.

Oh, shoot! I hope not
If it returns to the HoC, does it start over from the beginning and has to go through the whole shabang again?

Guys, there are two scenarios:

1- Without amendment: Third reading in the senate then the royal Assent
2- With amendment: Consideration of Messages between the Senate and the House of Commons
a- Message Sent to the House of Commons
b- Consideration of Senate Amendments
c- Concurrence in Senate Amendments

I have seen some bills had amendments and this only took few days to be approved by the house of Commons then third reading followed by Royal Assent, which means the delay time will be from 1 day to 1 month. Below are some examples with some bills passed with amendment

c-2 (1 month delay): http://www.parl.gc.ca/LegisInfo/BillDetails.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&billId=8062279
c-29 (2 days delay): http://www.parl.gc.ca/LegisInfo/BillDetails.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&billId=8519336

Thanks

Let's just hope for the best and prepare for the worst - and the worst that could happen is the bill doesn't pass at all and you will be soon qualified with 4 years of residence, and get approved within months

For people who landed in 2013 and earlier, this bill just becomes less and less important as the time goes by, since by the time it gets implemented ( assuming it is passed in a few months and implemented a year later) most of these people would have already been qualified and would get approval much sooner under the 4/6 rule
