Ottawa—Conservative ag critic John Barlow is trying once again to gain Parliamentary approval for a bill to deter trespassing on livestock farms.
His bill in the last Parliament received third reading in the Commons with support from the New Democrats and Bloc Quebecois but was not debated in the Senate before the 2021 election was called. The bill also had the support by many livestock groups.
The bill would make it an offence under the Health of Animals Act to enter, without lawful authority or excuse, a place in which animals are kept if doing so could result in the exposure of the animals to a disease or toxic substance.
