Toward Understanding Bill C-6 to Amend Citizenship Act; new 3/5 rule plus
- Thread starter dpenabill
- Start date
I think we need some perspective.
while many (myself included) have been made to wait up to a year more (for those that would have been eligible last june and JUST missed the deadline to apply) lowering the citizenship residency requirement by a year is HARDLY the government's only job. NOR SHOULD IT BE. there are far greater issues at play here. C-15 is one of them.
Also, the whole purpose of the Senate is to be INDEPENDENT. In explanation, if the members of parliament who get elected overpromise stuff just to appease the crowds, things that would put the nation's welfare at risk, then the Senators, as independents and free from the pressure of being re-elected have a responsibility to bring balance to the proposed legislation.
Waiting a few more months is NOT a big deal. This is the law and everything is happening as it is supposed to happen. We can't choose to rush legislation when we just like it. Otherwise we risk having worse stuff shoved down our throats by other people, who might happen to like something different.
Just my $0.02.

I am thinking they just do not want to pass this bill.
anyway, now feel like do not care about it.
Conservative, i remember you.

it's extremely shortsighted to blame the conservatives for this. get your facts straight first and make informed decisions.blackwine said:
first of all the House took 5 (!) months to send this to Senate. The House has a liberal majority. If they wanted they would have made better speed with this bill.
second the suggestion today that the Senate adjourns early for summer was seconded (voted upon) by Senator Harder, who is the head of the Liberal part of Senate.
of coures all we have to blame conservative because they screwed up everything and liberal has to fixed their mistake (anti immigrant )
That s why last election nobody voted for them. Canada builded by immigrants and most of us are immigrant so how we should make everyday harder and harder? I don't know how come postponed Bills while scheduled? processing time so slow here, anyone guys keep hoping because this Bill will be approve for sure

if the bill c 24 is not passed, we do not need to face the situation we have right now.dkera said:
Bill c-24 was passed in a democratic country, which you chose to immigrate to. the law is the law. i don't like it either but i already have waited close to a year more. it's not the end of the world. there are more important things to worry about.blackwine said:
