In September, MP Gerard Kennedy - whose riding is home to many U.S. war resisters - introduced Bill C-440 in the House of Commons. C-440 calls on the Canadian government to stop deporting U.S. war resisters, and to allow them to become permanent residents of Canada.
If passed, this private member's bill would give the weight of law to the two motions in support of war resisters already passed by the House of Commons. The War Resisters Support Campaign is actively working to support
the passage of this historic bill.
