Bill C-6: Senate stage

[Confused in Montreal]

that what I understand of passing clause by clause!

Some guys here said the Chair said that! I confused

Do you guys think there could be a potential for a third reading in coming days as they have possible sitting days on their calendar for the coming week.

So the bill passed today?

 

[spyfy]

since its passed in committee as it is, then why should be amended during 3rd reading, i believe you misunderstood what happened.

If the cons suggest amendment then there will be a vote maybe and 3rd reading will pass.

I believe there will be 3rd reading then to governor

Believe me, I have a good understanding of parliamentary procedure. The committee only makes recommendations to the senate. The senate can then still do what they want. Granted, usually the senate follows the committee recommendations. But BEFORE they passed the law today, one of the pro-C-6 senators signalled that there will be an amendment during third reading.

The cons didn't suggest and amendment.

I'm not sure who it was, but it was someone who said something to the effect of "I welcome C-6 as a bill, it's just the appeals thing we should change"

Also note that yesterday the Minister said that he welcomes such an amendment. And the HoC listens to the government, so I don't think they will oppose that change.

So lets hope the wrap up everything including the suggested amendment in the Senate in next 2,3 weeks and move it to HOc and it passes by mid April

Potential yes. But no one can say if it will happen. One can just guess.

It wasn't the chair. One of the senators signalled there will be an amendment in the senate.

To clarify: Yes, the committee didn't amend the bill. But the senate will most likely do that. The fact that the committee didn't amend the bill doesn't mean that the senate won't.

i want confirm that amend will be in committee only now in senate that s why they will send bill to committee

it s clear my question i mean amend will be only in committee not in senate

 

[monalisa]

I think during 3rd reading they will amend the observations only , its more logical

 

[spyfy]

I now remember who made the remarks regarding amendments. It was Senator Art Eggleton (Liberal)

 

[N_O]

They haven't done any amendments in committee. The law passed the committee with no changes.

But one of the senators announced that there will be an amendment once the bill ist back in the Senate at third reading.

Senator Art Eggleton.

 

[asifmehmood]

Today we will know if there are any amendments.

You can't amend observations. Observations are just formal notes that are supposed to condense the essence of the witnesses' testimony. Obviously the senate as a whole hasn't listened to these witnesses, so they can't amend what was heard from the witnesses.

Observations are not part of the bill. They are just... well... observations.
