From the War Resisters Support Campaign:
MAJORITY OF MPs DO NOT WANT US IRAQ WAR RESISTERS DEPORTED
Send a message to Liberal Party leader Michael Ignatieff
The defeat of Bill C-440 on Wednesday September 29th is a setback for US Iraq War resisters. There is a real danger that Jason Kenney will take the defeat of a bill as a green light to resume deportations.
Bill C-440 received significant support, but 7 more votes were needed to pass it at Second Reading. Stephen Harper voted against it, and the leaders of two of the three opposition parties – the Bloc Québécois and the NDP – voted for it. But the leader of the Liberal Party, Michael Ignatieff, left the House of Commons before the vote.
