In talking with my MP, I learned a few things I thought I would share here;
Bill C-422 is now in the top 100 private members' bills, but is not scheduled to be debated until the fall of 2011. I have a Conservative MP and the "position" explained by his office was that he will not have a position on it until the government takes a position on it...which was hastily corrected to "until it reaches the top 30 PMBs."
It is a slow process, and perhaps it can be expedited with enough support and with enough attention brought to it. Sadly, my MP had no clue what Bill C-422 referred to, and had to research and get back to me, stating that they have had no calls or letters regarding this piece of potential legislation...well...here I go, spending my spare time doing up a petition and going door to door in my riding!
If I knock on your door, have your pen and your story handy!
