Ottawa, Ontario - Senator Mac Harb and Humane Society International/Canada will hold a news conference at the National Press Theatre in Ottawa on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 to present disturbing new footage of the lack of sea ice cover in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and its devastating impact on ice breeding seals.
Senator Harb will also discuss his intention to re-introduce his bill to end the commercial seal hunt in Canada. Senator Harb tabled similar legislation in March 2009, but the failure of a single Senator to step forward to second the introduction of the bill meant it was stalled, preventing debate on its intent.
