Trudeau will try to ram this through because he's power hungry and see's this as a way to guarantee that he's Prime Minister or a Liberal is Prime Minister forever, he'll stack the committees and bully parliament, so its going to happen.

Personally, I do believe strongly that issues like this that strike at the heart of the constitution should go to referendums.
This is the angle find most confusing about this debate. So he's rigging the system to retain power, and his method of doing that is by making every vote count. I recognize the irony of not having a referendum on this topic, but surely you have to acknowledge the paradox in that line reasoning?
