I would like to point out that this article is more than 2 years old and there isn't a single sourced statement showing that Layton is against this. They are basically saying that they "heard" he wouldn't support it.

I have no clue whether or not he's for or against it, but let's at least have something more concrete than a few guys climbing onto a roof and then making wild speculations.

Why isn't this Bill moving anywhere?

You won't see it in front of parliament until at least the end of this year, but most likely not until sometime in 2013. I spoke with my MP's office and they explained that there is a schedule where MP's can't bring forward a PMB until their 'number is up'.

Vellocett is planning on reintroducing the bill when he can (again from what my MP's office was able to tell me), but they are making some changes from the one that was before the last session of parliament.

I wish I had more information.

To get politicians to listen (ie take you seriously) you need to make your issue an election issue. If a Bill of this nature is something you want contact your MP's office and let them know.
