Resolutions Communique #12

Submitted by: Sheila Quinn

Greetings,
Thought I’d send a ‘mini’ to share the good news in case you missed it!

In communique #9 you may recall that at the request of the Secretary of State, Hon Jason Kenny, League members were asked to write letters to MLA’s in support of Bill C-484 An Act To Amend The Criminal Code injuring or causing the death of an unborn child while committing an offence, a private members’ bill sponsored by MP Ken Epp.

Well the good news is that in an update from United Mothers, Fathers & Friends just received states the bill passed the 2nd reading by a narrow margin on March 5th therefore is still alive! Now the bill moves on to Justice Minister and Human rights Committee and finally if the bill returns to the house it will face 3rd and final reading which hopefully will happen before summer recess. Please continue to pray for the success of this important bill.

A few questions have arisen in relations to new guidelines for resolutions and hopefully they’ve all been ‘ironed out’. Remember to make sure your diocesan resolutions committee has an up to date check list. Any questions please get in touch with me.

May your be filled with the joy of Easter.

Your League Sister,

Sheila
