Bill C280 at Senate second reading - Senators MUST RISE AND SPEAK Hola... Here I pass a important message: "Hello and thank you for continuing to contact senators in your region asking them to support Bill C280, calling for the immediate implementation of the Refugee Appeal Division!" Colleen French Communications and Networking Coordinator On 12 June, Senator Yoine Goldstein rose and spoke to the bill, opening debate at second reading in the Senate. Other Senators MUST rise and speak to the bill during second reading, however. After a few sittings, if no one has spoken to Bill C280, it will be removed from the Order Paper and our efforts to have the Refugee Appeal Diviaion implemented will be lost. We know that several Senators have expressed their support for the Bill. Senators that may be particularly favourable of speaking to Bill C280 include: Vivienne Poy (Ontario), Sharon Carstairs (Manitoba), Lucie Pépin (Québec), Claudette Tardif (Alberta), Mobina Jaffer (British Columbia), and others in the Atlantic region and elsewhere. Please contact these senators and others you have already been in touch with and ask them to voice their opinions in the Senate chamber! It is more important now than ever to take action. Contact details for senators can be found online at: http://www.parl.gc.ca/common/senmemb/senate/isenator.asp?Language=E The next opportunity to speak to Bill C280 will be on Monday, June 18th.
