What’s going on in Winnipeg

by 3 Comments

I don’t specifically know what’s going on in Winnipeg actually, however, Maclean’s reports that at the Conservative Party convention, delegates vote to bring back something like Bill C-484, the unborn victims of violence bill.

A more contentious proposal would add charges to anyone who kills or injures a fetus during the commission of a crime against a pregnant mother.

Be it resolved that this is neither contentious, nor particularly Conservative with a Cap C. (Bill C-484 had wide Canadian support.)

Bill C-484 passes second reading

Bill C-484, the Unborn Victims of Crime bill, passes 147 to 133 in the House this evening.

(This is the bill that would make the murder of a pregnant woman count as two murders. If you want to read more about it, we’ve commented on it here, here, here and here. It now goes on to committee for discussion and debate. After that, it will return to the House for a final vote, and only then will finally go on to the Senate. That’s how I understand parliamentary procedure, anyway…)
