Bill C-6: Senate stage

[hangincanada]

Well friends based on Omidvar's tweets, C-6 will be discussed today. Here are the details of today's sitting:

Senate sitting no. 76
Location: Senate Chamber, Centre Block
Scheduled: Thursday, Nov 24, 2016
1:30 PM - 5:30 PM EST
Link: http://senparlvu.parl.gc.ca/XRender/en/PowerBrowser/PowerBrowserV2/20161124/-1/6334

there will be some hope to make it before Christmas if it could be moved to the committee today. Thanks all for following up with those senators and sharing the updates.

Yes, I mean expecting it to pass before the end of the year is probably a bit unrealistic. But at least if it is brought up in the sittings, then it is moving. Snail speed but still some movement. I still think a reasonable target for implementing the 3/5 rule would be within the first three months of 2018. In my case, it makes no difference since the only clause that affects me in C-24 is the 4/6 rule. But for many others on here, it is more important to see C-6 come to life since it contains other clauses that help their situation.

I think that tweet only meant C-6 'will be on today's schedule for discussion', and will be skipped as usual, just like how it has been on many previous days' schedule

You might be right, but she sounds more like hinting to that she will bring it up. After all, she is the only person at the moment who can bring up C-6 in the Senate.

After reading through some of this: I think a quick service announcement is in order. Please read this carefully:

Until Bill C-6 is either passed by the Senate or parliament is dissolved, it will always be on the Order Paper and Notice Paper. Always.

The fact that Bill C-6 is listed on this Order Paper and Notice Paper is no indication whatsoever that it is going to or not going to be discussed in a particular sitting.

It is just the "ToDo List" of the Senate.

Therefore: It is completely pointless to use the Order Paper and Notice Paper as an indicator for anything.

Therefore the following statements are completely pointless:
"It was on the OP&NP before and then was discussed. It's on the OP&NP again. So it must be discussed today"

Let me rephrase this: Ignore the OP&NP because it is just a list of all things before the Senate right now.

End of service announcement. You are welcome.

I just saw Senator Omidvar's tweets. Fingers crossed.
The Bill C-6 is #5 in the order of the day ( http://www.parl.gc.ca/ParlBusiness/Senate/OrderPaper/Calendar.asp?Language=E&Parl=42&Ses=1 )

no, they are talking about the committee report regarding c2. standby.

With the speed they are really discussing the bill C2, I don't think they will look into anything else for the rest of the day ...
Let's see ...

I dont think so that members here are actively following up with the senators. Thats the best way to bring it to their attention, unless it will keep on hanging
