Standard procedure would be for the bill to go through several rewrites until the PM decides to do the Cabinet shuffle (the most boring dance in history) and the current Public Safety minister is moved to a different portfolio. Without a champion, the bill will then linger in committee until Parliament is prorogued (or dissolved for an election), which will then kill it. Or at least, that would be the ideal outcome at this point.
