Update - What to do next?

Last night the liberal MP's voted against the amendments and voted with the conservatives to support Bill-C-10.

It will now be presented to the Senate with the same process as in the House, first reading, then to committee, then second and third reading. Once it has been completed in the senate then it receives royal assent. However there are possibilities that a bill can be referred back to the House.

So this is what we ask...contact your Liberal, Conservative and Independent (Bill Casey) MP's who voted to support Bill C-10, either by email, letter or phone call and say how disappointed and angry you are with their decision. These MP's need to know.

You can find a list of Senators at this link (click here). You should send emails, letters, and phone calls and asked them to carve out pay equity of Bill C-10 and amend the bill on rolls backs and EI.

This afternoon at the United Nations in New York, women are gathering to condemn the Harper government's record on women's rights which are indeed human rights. Please join in with their voices in trying to make some noise. It is after all International Women's Week. What a slap in the face of women that our government pass such an act when we should be celebrating how far we have come.
