We all know that Bill C-6 can easily pass from the house of commons, but what will happen once it reaches to the SENATE. I know historically and traditionally the senate passes most Bills without any problem. But technically they can still opposed this bill in SENATE as conservatives have majority there, and they have already opposed this bill in house of commons. Have any one of you talk to your MPs about this situation? What they have to say?

I saw on wikipedia that ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senate_of_Canada ) that the Senate is composed of 41 Tories, 21 Liberals and 23 Non-Affiliated.
Are the 23 Non-Affiliated liberals in disguise?
I see that the Representative of the Government in the Senate is Peter Harder, Non-affiliated, appointed by JT.
I don't know exactly how all of this works...
