Bill C-6: Senate stage

[Coffee1981]

As a sign of how little interest there is in this bill now, it's not even on the Order Paper to be discussed, and the agenda is set until May 12th. I bet it doesn't even show it's head until the fall. They've got to get the Budget through first.

The delay reason is not because the government has no interest in the bill but the government needs time to discuss the amendments internally before going to the HoC.

I did not claim it was dead forever. I claimed that the Government is not going to support any of the 3 amendments.

Here is the link to your post from back then:

To quote:

Choose to believe what you want. I'm telling you because my friend was in meetings all day today. The bill is DOA on its return to the House. The age limit for language was the poison pill.

So you in fact said the bill is dead. You were NOT talking just about the amendments.

It's OK to predict what you want, but at least you should own it and not pretend you didn't make false predictions (or at least predictions you don't believe anymore yourself).

Indeed. Of course they need a bit to study the bill and the government won't put a motion on the agenda until they made up their mind. I expect weeks but not months.

What is the difference between the arrival date and when you became a permanent resident?

Isn't the arrival date same as when I became a permanent resident (written on the back of the PR)?

Hello,
Anyone knows when will the HoC discuss/ vote on the bill? how would we know there schedule? do we have a voice in this as constituents?

Under the new regulation, I am eligible to apply since March 4th, 2017

Not necessarily for everyone. Many people arrive first in Canada on a work or study permit.

This is the 1000th time this question is asked. Look at the other posts. E.g. the FACTS ONLY thread that has a long summary in the beginning.

Guys, don't trust that globe and mail calculator. That is not a reliable source. Just do the calculation yourself:

- Take todays date
- Go five years back
- Count the days you were in Canada not being a PR, call them X
- Count the days you were in Canada being a PR, call them Y
- Divide X by 2 and call it Z.
- If Z is more than 365, replace it by 365
- Z+Y, that is your day count. I must be more than 1095

The Privy Council Office doesn't want to jam the Federal Court with 200 extra + cases a year. Especially with the Jordan decision. They're going to move for McCoy's amendment to be abolished and create an appeal mechanism at the Immigration and Refugee Board instead, additional hearings, with a judicial review at the FC after.

Last year Linda Frum's twitter exchange with Kady O Malley suggested that it was the govt that requested the right to appeal amendment

Replying to @LindaFrum

At all stages, with no amendments? I would take that bet!

Let's measure outcomes not process. And then we have a bet.

I think it's reasonable to take successful amendments into account when determining vote discipline!

That depends. For example, Minister McCallum has requested an amendment to Bill C6.
