Let them finish amendments and delay it 2 weeks

Agree 100%, if this implemented soon after the bill is approved.

i'm sorry mr spiritsoul, can we know the fact or summary about today's sitting

 

[proudian]

Can anyone give summary of today? What happened in the meeting

 

[proudian]

Is there any amendment possible relating to residency requirement?? Can 3/4 pulled off and get back to 4 years ??

 

[rajubhai]

Cool - sen. Jaffer said politely - where you been when the age requirement was discussed in the SOCI committee.

This is called game of Politics. Liberals don't want to pass the bill very soon.

A brief:

- Sen. Griffin, Diane, appointed by JT introduced an amendment regarding changing the age limit of language proficiency test to 60 years old; this is the motion in debate now.
- The debate on this motion (amendment of 60yrs old) was adjourned at 4:00pm till tomorrow.

- Sen. Jaffer tweeted after with:"there are a number of other amendments #senCA"

Thanks to spiritsoul for the update on what happened in the Senate today. As mentioned I didn't have the time today to listen to the debate. As it is right now there is one new amendment that is before the Senate and needs to be dealt with. It seems like this will be the case tomorrow. What happens thereafter, we can only see.

As pointed out I don't want to get into the guessing game of how long these new amendments are going to take, particularly since there is no reliable info on how many of these amendments are coming. Let's stick to the facts and not to speculation.

What the recent debates and votes taught us is that amendments need 1-4 sitting days in the Senate to be dealt with. But again, we don't know how many such amendments are coming up, so that doesn't really help us in guessing a time. Knowing how long it takes to bake a bread is pointless if you don't know how many breads are about to be made

I stand with the estimate I made in the initial post of this whole thread:

- This means under the perfectest of circumstances (I know, "perfectest" is not a word, but still) this bill will become law in April.
- Under the worst circumstances this bill will become law in the summer.

I think that's all we have. Long story short: No one can tell how long these amendment games will take exactly. We can only wait and see. The fact how fast this new amendment will be dealt with over the next days will give us a better idea on how much each amendment can delay the bill.

Man this is just... stupidity at its best... they are giving Cons tool to adjourn and adjourn and adjourn as same as what happened with first amendments

According to Hansard of yesterday's sitting, it was not Senator Eaton who debated yesterday but Senator Olsen. So Senator Eaton is yet to open debate - as she said either today or early next week
