Senators Obstrucing Whale & Dolphin Bill

Conservative Senate Whip Don Plett is obstructing Bill S-203—a groundbreaking law that would ban keeping whales in tanks, saving them from a lifetime of misery. The Senate Fisheries Committee approved Bill S-203 in October, and the next step is for the entire Senate to pass it. But Senator Plett is using procedural tricks to block the bill from reaching the Senate floor.

Pro-aquarium senators have been trying to kill Bill S-203 for nearly three years, but every time they get close, YOUR support has saved it. Please contact Conservative MPs, leader Andrew Scheer, and Senate leader Larry Smith and ask them to ensure this important bill moves forward without further obstruction.

Save Bill S-203!

Dear Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, Conservative Senate leader Larry Smith, and Conservative Members of Parliament,
 
I write to express concern that some of your Conservative Senate colleagues, particularly Senator Don Plett, are obstructing and delaying Bill S-203, the Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act. Bill S-203 was approved by the Senate Fisheries Committee, yet ongoing delay tactics mean the legislation has still not been voted on at third reading by the Senate. This is unacceptable to me, and many other Canadians.

There have been many attempts at virtually every stage of this legislation to block and delay it, but the bill has widespread public support and senators deserve the opportunity to vote on it. As the National Conservative Caucus, I respectfully request that you consider whether these attempts to obstruct whale protection legislation will be well-received by the Canadian public.

Sincerely,
