Sad to hear people talking about this bill as if its name says it all, as if
its really about safety, when what it does, if you read the fine print is
endanger the safety of ordinary Canadians. I'm considering sending this to
some of the MP's that passed this bill that I feel ought to know better!

Canadian Citizens,

If you are receiving this letter it is because you have expressed to me your
concerns about Bill C-36 through one of the several hundred e-mails I have
received over the last month. As you know, on December 1st
the Senate Standing Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology
passed C-36.
I strongly opposed the passage without hearing from adequate witnesses, so I
requested a recorded vote. The Conservative majority in committee all voted
to pass the Bill without amendments, and now it returns to the Senate for
third reading. The Conservatives
hold a similar majority in the Senate.

We have worked hard to ensure that should Bill C-36 pass, it can only do so
when given proper consideration, and only after every informed voice on the
matter has been heard. This has not been then case. I have also proposed
many amendments, all of which were voted down by the Conservatives voting
together.

Many have asked what they can do to address this situation, to which I
recommend the following; continue to e-mail your Senators, voicing your
concern about how this Bill is being passed. In particular, you should contact
the office of those Conservative Senators who seem intent on ramming this
Bill through without giving due consideration to its repercussions. They seem
totally disinterested in the potential effects of this Bill.

Below you will find a list of those Senators who voted in favour of passing
Bill C-36 in committee. The Senate Chamber is meant to be a chamber of
independent second thought, occupied by independent minded people. Amendments
in the Senate will not cause an election, and thus should happen more
frequently.


We are now in debate in the Senate. I spoke on Thursday, and it will continue
Monday and Tuesday. Let’s hope for the best.

Yours Truly,

Joseph A. Day LL.M., P. Eng.
Senator
