Bill C-6: Senate stage

[LinusNY]

Dagger in the back, the amendments presented in a way that C-6 is BAD.

why I didn't hear it?

That's unbelievable !!!

very lengthy amendment, it's like a completely new bill!!

so, will it become law by May or Canada day?
I know a lot of people will ask this regardless what is going on in there at the moment....

No one can answer this question here. If someone does, they are just guessing.

By Canada Day, I would strongly say: YES

By May, I may say, NO (after the amendment) although it may be!!

No opposition yet

I wonder, why they're still debating the bill itself following to the introduction of the amendment

They may try to hunt the chance to adjourn in their names and sleep for weeks before re-debate!!

Because so far only Omidvar (sponsor) and McCoy (the person introducing the amendment) spoke on the bill. So of course people are still allowed to also comment on the bill as a whole and/or the amendment.

Also for those who are saying this amendment is out of the scope of the bill: C-6 is clearly a repeal bill regarding C-24. Since C-24 these revocations have become an issue (there were as many revocations in the last 20 months as there were in the 20 YEARS before that). The original version of C-6 didn't address this issue. That is why they want to chance C-6, so it also addresses this problem of C-24.

Note: I am not trying to make my own arguments here, I'm echoing what the senators say.

They must debate the amendment now and vote on the amendment before they revert back to the original/amended bill.... The senator speaking now is back on the track and he is addressing the amendment which should be voted on before anything else!!

if the amendments can be written in a short time like this case, why they didn't address it in the committee with the wittiness and other expertise?

I'm afraid they've been writing this amendment for the last year, since June 2016

According to the news report about this, the amendment took a while to be written. It wasn't ready yet last week. And Omidvar didn't want to hold up the process so they let it go back to senate (which took a week) and MEANWHILE compose the amendment. That is exactly why I think it is unfair to say that Omidvar is delaying the bill.

Bring it home Omidvar!!!
