I’m thrilled to report that today, February 23, Bill 16 passed its second reading in the Ontario Legislature with a vote of 51 for, 26 against. I’ve included a list of who voted for and against. In the next couple of days, I’ll have a more detailed list letting you know which were Conservatives, Liberals, or NDP.<\/p>\n
The bill has now been forwarded to a committee. \u00a0I don’t yet know which one, but I’ll find out shortly.<\/p>\n
This is great news and I’m looking forward to the next steps on the way to permanently eliminating the provincial breed-specific legislation.<\/p>\n
