Also Phil Gillies a member of Wildaid and Dave Neuman a former mayor of Brantford are the two men that got the bill pushed for vote and will be in attendance today to speak to us.
On another note California yesterday passed the vote to ban shark fin products in the assembly so the next step is to the senate to be voted on to pass a state law.
