DEBATE ON BILL C-355 TO CONTINUE
On Monday, November 20, 2023 the first hour of Second Reading of Bill C-355 occurred in the House of Commons. After MP Tim Louis’ powerful speech, which addressed his fellow Members of Parliament about the cruelty inherent in the live horse export trade and what horses mean to Canadians, a vigorous debate followed.
Please note that debate on this issue is not completed; a new date will be announced when it becomes available. Bill C-355 will be voted on after the period of debating is over. A majority of votes in favour of the bill will propel it to the next stage to be considered by the Agriculture Committee.
Let’s make sure that Bill C-355 gets the needed number of votes to pass! Please continue to lobby your MPs! This is vital now.
Constituents in Conservative ridings are especially encouraged to present factual information to their MPs in order to address the mistruths presented by Conservative Party representatives during the debate.
