An NDP MPP has introduced a private member’s bill that seeks to repeal the provincial ban on pit bulls.

[...] In a news release issued Tuesday, DiNovo said: “In the four years since the legislation passed, fatal dog attacks have gone up in Ontario although they’re still extremely rare.

“In none of the reported cases have there been attacks involving pit bulls,” she added.

[...] With the Liberals holding the majority of seats in Ontario’s legislature, DiNovo’s bill is unlikely to pass.
