A Good Day for a Sober Second Thought
Final Senate vote on Bill C-377

June 26, 2013

Sisters and Brothers,

Dear  Bob,

A majority of Conservative Senators have passed Bill C-377, a law that will force unions to provide excessively detailed and intrusive reports to the Canada Revenue Agency.

"Once again the Conservatives have shown their contempt for the democratic process," said PSAC national president Robyn Benson. "In clear defiance of long-standing Senate rules, Conservative Senators shut down debate in order to pass Bill C-377."

In conjunction with the Canadian Labour Congress, PSAC is calling on members to contact their Member of Parliament concerning Bill C-377. In its current form, Bill C-377 would be the most costly and discriminatory Bill faced by the labour movement across Canada in memory. It is a clear attack on the right of association, the right to privacy and freedom of speech.
 
We ask that all members contact their local Member of Parliament - especially if the local MP is a Conservative - and voice opposition to the Bill C-377.
