BREAKING NEWS Bill C-6 finally passed in HoC, Now reading in Senate

[spiritsoul]

So what will minster appear for
Is he just in visa today?

He'll appear at Question period; they'll ask him about the bill, its importance, and any other related issues....just a talk adding to the talk and talk and talk..... Nothing to do with debating or discussing the bill on a procedural order (second reading, committee and then third reading).

guys start now bill c-6

That has to be the worst response by the minister regarding the 3 of 5 years against the 4 of 6 years. PR’s are working and paying taxes to the government. To ask us to work for 4 straight years under a PR and not include any of the time spent in Canada on temporary visas is wholly unreasonable!!!

Cannot agree more. I hate his answer, he was should say: ex. to compete with other countries like Australia and Newzeland

Could you summarize his response? I missed that part!

It's funny a Senator said repealing bill C-24 is wasting tax money while themselves are the biggest tax money wasters. They would rather spend half hour to debate whether to allow the minister to appear than to debate C-6 itself. I guess next time they will spend more time to debate "whether to debate C-6".

He pretty much just avoided explaining himself and said 3 of 5 years is what he feels is correct. He didn't fight to justify it at all.

I'm a PR of almost 2 and a half years, been in Canada for 4 working in Oil & Gas and paying large amounts of tax to the government. I appreciate the whole Bill C-6 is much bigger than my individual case and by no means am i trying to make this about me, i just feel that this shouldn't be as difficult as the Senate are making it out to be.

Take the route of a student coming to Canada to study in University would take:

4 years in university (unable to use the time spend in Canada towards visa)
approx 1 year application for permanent resident application (unable to use the time spend in Canada towards visa)
work for 4 years as a permanent resident to obtain the right to apply for citizenship
wait approx 1 year to obtain citizenship from CIC.

That's a total of 10 years and is crazy!!!

You picked the exact same point that irritated me; badly she also insisted on her opinion..... Luckily it's not me, I was should tell her in her face "it's you who are a waste of tax payers money"

Let's hope for tomorrow...
They just talked with the Minister so they might want to finish the 2nd reading while the memories of those discussions are fresh...
