I got this info offf another site, can anyone conferm this is what is happening?


*The debate has ended, tomorrow they decide whether they will vote on it, or go to the comittee for public hearings, looks like it should go to the commitee's, keep your fingers crossed. Once it goes to public hearings/comittee, we have a MUCH better chance to get the proven facts in there, to help steer them to build a better bill geared towards legislation that addresses the irresponsibe owner rather than a breed of dog.*

I'm not sure but I hope they address the owner issue rather than have a ban......this whole ban thing is crazy if you ask me

I reviewed Hansard and I found recent petitions against BSL but no further debate. I guess we should keep a close eye on the Leg. I think some cable subscribers can watch live (not me). My fingers and toes are crossed. oh, and every time Bryant opens his mouth, so are my eyes. ;)

This is near the top, at 1:30pm today:

G132. Deferred vote on the motion for Second Reading of Bill 132, An Act to amend the Dog Owners' Liability Act to increase public safety in relation to dogs, including pit bulls, and to make related amendments to the Animals for Research Act. Hon. Mr. Bryant.

By the way, should Honourable be in quotes? I'm just saying...

I agree with Igette. There should be a law for the owners and not a ban

I never thought I would admit I know this, but yes, they do.

sammiec:*pffft*I've been laughed at for much worse...wait a minute...that's a bad thing...

There was a vote to end debate which carried, and today they will vote on a motion for second reading. I think we're going to lose this round... :mad:
