Ontario, Canada: Final committee hearing on Bill 16, May 9

Bill 16, which would repeal the breed ban in Ontario, will have a final hearing in the Standing Committee of Regulations and Private Bills on May 9 at 9:00 AM.

If the bill passes the committee, it will be ready for a third reading in the full Ontario Legislative Assembly—but the majority party has to call it for a third reading, and it’s not clear if that will happen.

There should be a live webcast on May 9, starting at 9:00 am, if you want to follow the clause-by-clause voting on Bill 16: http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/go2.jsp?Page=/webcast/webcast_main&locale=en&menuItem=dandp_webcast
