Despite passing Bill 16 through the Legislature at second reading with all party support, as well as passing through Committee, Dalton McGuinty killed Bill 16 when he prorogued the Legislature.
However, it is fully within Premier Kathleen Wynne's power to reconstitute Bill 16 as it was the day McGuinty prorogued. Tell the new Premier to put Bill 16 back on the Order Paper for Third Reading so that it can be voted on immediately.
Sign the petition below and share with all of your friends and family.
A Petition to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario
WHEREAS currently the law takes the onus off of owners that raise violent dogs by making it appear that violence is a matter of genetics;
AND WHEREAS the Dog Owner’s Liability Act does not clearly define a pit bull, nor is it enforced equally across the province as pit bulls are not an acknowledged breed;
WE the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows: That the government brings Bill 16 Public Safety Related to Dogs Statute Law Amendment Act, 2011 back for third Reading.
Thank-you.
