MPs Comment on Delay of Animal Protection Bills
MPs and animal rights advocates hold a news conference to discuss the status of three animal protection bills. The Senate has adopted the committee reports for Bills S-203 (the Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act), S-214 (the Cruelty-free Cosmetics Act) and S-238 (the Ban on Shark Fin Importation Act), but has not advanced the bills to third reading. Camille Labchuk (lawyer and executive director, Animal Justice), Julie MacInnes (campaign manager, Humane Society International/Canada), MPs Nathaniel Erskine-Smith (Liberal), Michelle Rempel (Conservative), Fin Donnelly (NDP), and Elizabeth May (Green Party leader) urge the Senate to move the bills forward to a vote before it rises for the summer.
