You can follow the advancement of Bill C-6 here: http://www.parl.gc.ca/legisinfo/BillDetails.aspx?billId=8117654&Mode=1&Language=E
For Bill C-24, the Committee meetings were on the day after the 2nd reading and the Royal Assent was 2 days after the 2nd reading as you can see it here: http://www.parl.gc.ca/legisinfo/BillDetails.aspx?billId=6401990&Mode=1&Language=E
So, if and only if, Bill C-6 goes through smoothly like C-24 did, we MIGHT get the Royal Assent as soon as September 29th.
Everything is of course, very speculative. Nothing is set in stone. Especially with a Conservative-dominated Senate.
I dont think so Senate have any mandate to pass a bill within a specific time frame, but usually they pass things quickly unless there is a hiccup. Senate don't create problems for parliament in Canada. Royal assent is quick as well. After that the concerned department have upto 12 months to implement but its not always that they take full 12 months. They can move as soon as next day. In this case, my prediction is the it will happen within this year.

Some positivism! I like that!
Personally, I think like you do.

What does it mean? That they're done with the second reading and will go on with the third?
Or that they haven't finished the 2nd reading?
I don't get it ???
