Senators fiddle while Canadian consumers at risk
"Ancient Existing legislation, is 50 years old, and completely inadequate to protect our children from being maimed in unsafe baby carriages or from suffocating in faulty cribs" says
"The Senators are paying too much attention to special interest groups who fear that their free-wheeling ways will be inhibited by this urgently required legislation" adds V-P Mel Fruitman.
"Under existing legislation, even if a death-threatening hazard is identified, the only option available to the Canadian government is to go to the supplier, cap in hand, and ask them to please do something about it. The new act will allow the government to take immediate appropriate action" notes Cran. "We ask the Senators, to cast aside their differences, consider the well-being of their fellow Canadians and allow the bill to be passed as it was presented before we face a really serious tragedy.
