| Unfortunately Bill S-203 was passed in the House of Commons on April 9, 2008. This site will be updated as soon as we know what Plan B is. In the meantime you can visit: http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw/dimages/custom/ca_anti_cruelty/index.html to see how your M.P. voted on this matter. You can send him/her a letter to let them know how you feel about that. |
