Better Entry Point into Canadian Stocks Based on B

First, Understand the Bill C-45 Process:
Bill C-45, the Cannabis Act, has now passed second reading in the House of Commons and will make its way to the Standing Committee on Health. Although the bill passed second reading 200 to 76, the debate was tough. While most Conservatives who spoke took exception with the bill going too far in providing access to cannabis—especially allowances for up to four cannabis plants for personal cultivation for adults, and a lack of criminal charges for minors found in possession of less than five grams of cannabis—many from the New Democratic Party who otherwise supported the overall bill objected to how far many of the bill’s proposed criminal charges go.
The Standing Committee studies a bill and can propose amendments and, once completed, sends their report back to the House of Commons for further debate.
Once done with this debate, a bill is then called for third reading in the House of Commons where it is again voted on, taking into account any changes made so far. If then passed after third reading, the bill makes its way to the Senate to repeat a similar process. A bill can only become law once it has passed both Chambers of Parliament and then received Royal Assent.
As the debate on the Cannabis Act will continue for some time, it’s important for all Canadians to understand what the Cannabis Act entails. You can read more in the Government of Canada’s backgrounder on the bill here. To better highlight aspects of the Cannabis Act, NICHE has also created some handy infographics to share with friends and family who may still have questions.
Second, understand the few terms:
Canada's Parliament - consists of three parts: the Queen, the Senate and the House of Commons. They work together to make the laws for our country.
The House of Commons is the popularly elected component of Parliament, consisting of 338 members. Members of the government sit in, and are answerable to the House of Commons. Most major government legislation is introduced in the House. The House of Commons alone is constitutionally authorized to introduce legislation concerned with the raising or spending of funds.
The Senate - is the Upper House of Canada's Parliament. Its 105 members are appointed and hold their seats until age 75. The Senate's purpose is to consider and revise legislation, investigate national issues, and most crucially according to the Constitution — give the regions of Canada an equal voice in Parliament.
Royal Assent - is the approval by the Sovereign of a bill that has passed both houses of Parliament in identical form. It is the process by which a bill becomes an act of Parliament and part of the law of Canada.
The following shows how a bill is passed through either the House of Commons or the Senate.
Third Reading - The bill is then called for a Third Reading. The parliamentarians debate it again. Sometimes they can change their minds about a bill. They might vote for it at Second Reading but not at Third Reading if they do not like the changes made to the bill. If it passes Third Reading, the bill then goes to the other Chamber, where it goes through the same stages.
Finally, The Better Entry Point to Buy Canadian Stocks

My Recommendation to buy Canadian Stocks by using the Following Process:
1. Start a small position on multiple stocks after the third reading is passed by House Of Commons because after that I do not think there will be much resistance from Senate.
2. Full position on the day Senate pass the bill.
