It's clear by now that Bill C-6 will see delays due to a possible amendment. Senators in support of the bill hoping that it gets moved to the committee by next week or so. I think C-6 will get royal assent sometime next year. Very low chance of being disbanded.amitshipra said:
I'm no expert, but I think Sen. Omidvar intends to include an amendment about that changes the government's authority of repealing citizenship of those who misrepresent details (or something like that). This is in part due to a liberal MP Maryam Monsef recently learning that her country of birth was Iran, not Afghanistan, and she came to Canada as an Afghani refugee. Current laws don't protect her and may lead to stripping off her citizenship. The latest delays in the reading of the Bill either all seem to point towards an amendment, or a wait till the rest of the empty Senate spots are filled up, and the Senate has a non-Conservative majority.Anvatrix said:
That's interesting as well as probable. There is lot of discussion within last week - probably every alternate day. Let's hope appointing senators would cut short this debate. Getting fed up with this.zzzzzzzz said:
I don't think that she just learned that she was born in Iran. She had mentioned being of Persian descent it in earlier appearances. This is just a pure political cover-up and it exposes the true hypocrisy of Trudeau's government that they are treating her differently than all other immigrants.zzzzzzzz said:
Half of Afghan people are of Persian descent. Being born in a country doesn't mean at all that you are of that country's descent. Usually this has to do with ethnicity and family.torontosm said:
It's more the preparation of the amendment. In my opinion.zzzzzzzz said:
By that logic, we are all of African descent, since the remains of the earliest humans were found there. But how many times have you said that to refer to your origins?admontreal said:
