Ontario: MPP introduces bill to repeal breed ban

MPP Randy Hillier today introduced a bill that would repeal Ontario’s breed ban. The bill is co-sponsored by MPPs Cheri DiNovo and Kim Craitor.

I believe this bill is identical to last year’s “Hershey’s Bill,” which was championed by DiNovo. The new bill number is Bill 16. You may read the text here: http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/bills/bills_detail.do?locale=en&Intranet&BillID=2552

The newly filed bill is significant because each of its co-sponsors is from a different major Canadian political party; it demonstrates tri-partisan support for repeal of the breed ban. There is a second hearing for this bill scheduled for February 2012.

If you would like to help repeal Ontario’s ban, attend the bill hearings, or send your support to Canadian MPPs, please visit http://supporthersheysbill.com/ to get all the details.
