What This Vote Is Really About

This vote is about a proposed law called Bill C-3 that would change the rules about who can become a Canadian citizen. The government wants the House of Commons to agree with changes that a committee made to the proposed law. If the House agrees, it means they accept the changes. Then, they can vote on the whole proposed law. If the House votes yes on the whole proposed law, it moves to the Senate. The Senate also needs to agree before it can become law. Citizens should care because this proposed law affects families and who can become Canadian. It could make it easier or harder for some people to become citizens.
