Bill C-560, Equal Shared Parenting, Second Reading Debate May 27, 2014

An update from Gene Colman on Bill C-560

Bill C-560 will be in the House of Commons again on Tuesday, May 27 at 6:30 p.m.  This is the 2nd hour of 2nd reading.  The vote will take place a few days later.  Those in favour of this Bill should contact their local Member of Parliament. It is crucial to get out the vote.  Even if your M.P. has pledged support, remind him/her that the NDP is whipping their party's vote "against".  Every supportive member of the House needs to attend the vote.

Thanks to all advocates across Canada!
