Toward Understanding Bill C-6 to Amend Citizenship Act; new 3/5 rule plus

[nofrills]

All - the only way this becomes a priority is if the senate are being reminded that it is through your words and actions.

I suggest emailing a standard email to each of these senators on the social affairs committees as a starting point.

To make it easier for you - here are their email addresses - suggest keeping it brief, personal and polite and asking for a reply of their support.

This will take 5-10 minutes to write up an email, probably shorter than searching and reading replies to this topic and more effective.

Why don't we write a text of the letter here and then create an online petition on Change.org with all those email addresses?

....and it needs more signatures. Seems not enough C-6 supporters out there.

That is not a bad idea and better than nothing - however it will be more powerful if it doesn't look as though it came from a set template shared with a group of people.

Great!

Signed, but it is not the same as an elected official receiving a letter, email or phone call.

It may be because this is a badly worded petition... C-6 covers a lot more than this petition implies.

Just signed the petition.

Good morning xxxxxx,

She thanks you for your perspective and comments.

Senator Dean

Dear xxxxx:
Apologies for the delay. I have been receiving a large amount of correspondence on several important Bills. I have no difficulty in supporting the 3/5 amendment that you have raised and I have no interest in delaying this Bill.

Best wishes,

Senator Oglive

Dear xxxxx:

I do not make public comments on legislation coming before the committee I Chair.

I strongly suggest you continue writing, calling and visiting these senators - they are the ones who are making the decisions - it needs to be in their minds that this is affecting real people.

Does anybody know what is the status of the Bill C-6 with the Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology? Are there any readings scheduled?

You mean copy paste the bill there??

Make your own and try!!

Email all the senators on the committee with your concerns that has caused the bill to delay .

Email all the senators on the committee with your concerns that has caused the bill to delay .

That is exactly what will help - email them rather than post here.

I got this response from Peter Harder - also on the social affairs committee..

Thank you for writing and sharing your concerns regarding Bill C-6. I appreciate your taking the time to add your perspectives on our country’s public policy.

The Government of Canada must safeguard our country’s residents, and I am confident that Bill C-6 supports this objective while treating all Canadians equally.

Again, thank you for writing and adding your voices to our debate in Parliament.

Sincerely,

The Honourable Peter Harder, P.C.
Government Representative in the Senate
