[Viva] WE WON!!!!

[Denise Becker]

Shannon is of course correct.  I got a little ahead of myself and was very
excited to have it pass in the House.  We do still face the scrutiny of the
Senate and a Conservative stacked senate at that.  We are going to have to
do some lobbying of these senators to strongly impress on them that the
people have spoken and the Bill has been passed by Parliament.  I will give
you time lines on this once I know it and possible action you may want to
consider taking.
