I have just received a reply from my MPs office (Lib.) and would like to give you a quick update on the situation:

1) They view C-6 as a "central election promise"
2) Naturally he will vote in favour
3) They expect it will pass "by the close of the June sitting in a few months’ time"

I invite everyone to jump on this train and get proactive with your MPs! I've seen a lot of people here guessing when they can apply under the new rules. It's not something that you can take for granted, you've got to provide feedback through democratic institutions available to you as a PR, so that politicians stay on track. If you want this to happen, you can spend 30 minutes writing a letter or driving to the local MPs office. Let's back this guys who are doing a great job for us.

Thanks Dip!

I've already sent emails to McCallum and my MP, Chrystia Freeland.

I'll follow up with mail letters as well.

I may even swing by Ms. Freeland's office next week! Get the word out! Democracy works, apparently!

Almost none. But to make sure, you have to contact you MP and request to support C-6.
My MP is from conservatives but before the last election as you guys know, they MPs knock at the doors and I agreed to put his sign in my front yard. Can I swing by his office and ask him to support Bill C6? HE IS CONSERVATIVE! :o ;D

Tell him that if he wants to stay in power he better become Liberal :D

He is an MP for all people of your riding, regardless of their political affiliation. You should totally request him to support C-6!

Dear cooldoc80,
Your desire to contribute to the process is greatly appreciated. If you have any friends or relatives who live in Canada, ask them to aproach their MPs.
