Exciting news everyone! Bill C-268 passed the Senate Committee Review and now is headed for its last step before becoming law!  Thanks to all of you who wrote to the members of the Senate Committee.  Here is the email I received this weekend from the office of MP Joy Smith (pictured with us above):

“On June 2, 2010, the Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology, completed their review of Bill C-268 and passed it without amendment. The Committee heard from a number of witnesses. Transcripts and videos will be available on my website shortly.

Yesterday, Bill C-268 was reported back to the Senate for Third Reading. This is the last stage before Bill C-268 becomes law. It is my hope that we can see Bill C-268 receive Royal Assent before Parliament rises for the summer.

If you would like to make your voice heard to Senators and asked them to pass Bill C-268 at Third Reading as soon as possible, please use the attached list of Senators emails.”   -MP Joy Smith

I have attached the list of Senators Names and Emails here.

This is the final crunch!  I urge you to write some Senators and tell them this human trafficking Bill must be passed before the summer break.  We are so close!
