You seem to be full of those these days! 
And exactly as I noted, second reading has been initiated and the Bill will not be voted on until it has gone through Committee.
Reading comprehension difficulties old timer??
Wondering...

more authoritative sources disagree with your assessment:
Second reading
A second reading is the stage of the legislative process where a draft of a bill is read a second time.
In most Westminster-style legislatures, a vote is taken on the general outlines of the bill before being sent to committee.

Second reading and referral to a committee
The second reading stage of the legislative process provides an opportunity to participate in debate on the general scope and principle of the bill.
Once the bill is adopted at second reading, it is referred to committee for further scrutiny.

Private Members' Business
At 5:30 p.m., pursuant to Standing Order 30(6), the House proceeded to the consideration of Private Members' Business.
The order was read for the second reading and reference to the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans of Bill C-251, An Act respecting the development of a federal framework on the conservation of fish stocks and management of pinnipeds.
Mr. Small (Coast of Bays—Central—Notre Dame), seconded by Mr. Perkins (South Shore—St. Margarets), moved, — That the bill be now read a second time and referred to the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans.
Debate arose thereon.
Pursuant to Standing Order 93(1), the order was dropped to the bottom of the order of precedence on the Order Paper.

I am not making this stuff and unlike you where you expect people to rely on your word or sometimes imperfect law and procedural knowledge, I provide definitive sources. These are not opinions, they are facts
I also want to clarify something else that is a fact and that is that depending on the sessions of parliament somewhere between 2 or 3% and 10% of private members bills are passed into law, hence my earlier remark "don't hold your breath".
A similar occurrence was following the appeal of the successful appeal The DLCC/MF&GC when I told you that only a small number of requests for leave to appeal to the SCOC were actually heard by the SCOC you scoffed that your Legal Beagles knew better. Subsequently the leave was turned down without reason (which is normal).
Have a good weekend. I'll be doing crossword puzzles and math games to try and keep my wits up in the face of impending old age! You need to do something similar.
Cheers.
