Okay, so to fill you in on the latest tactic: Leon Benoit needs to find 5 MP's from three parties to sign a petition saying they want to bring C-291 to a vote. We need to find 5 MP's from either the Bloc or the NDP. So far, here are some names that are being bounced around as possible support:
Roger Gaudet Bloc Québécois-- Montcalm Gaudet.Ro@parl.gc.ca
Gilles Perron Bloc Québécois-- Rivières des Milles-Iles Perron.G-A@parl.gc.ca
M. Serge Cardin Bloc Québécois-- Sherbrooke Cardin.S@parl.gc.ca
Tony Martin NDP Sault Ste Marie Martin.T@parl.gc.ca
Charlie Angus NDP Timmins-James Bay Angus.C@parl.gc.ca
Bill Blaikie NDP Elmwood-Transcona Blaikie.B@parl.gc.ca
Joe Comartin NDP Windsor Tecumseh comartin.j@parl.gc.ca
Peter Julian NDP Burnaby-New Westminster Julian.P@parl.gc.ca
If any of these MP's is one of yours, please EMAIL THEM and ask that they support Bill C-291 being brought to a vote. Also explain, politely and succinctly, why C-291 is a good law.
Regardless, please write your MP and tell them to support this law. You can find contact information for your MP here:

Should this petition succeed, there will be a secret vote in the House to see if the Bill should come to a vote.
EDITED TO ADD: If you get wind of any NDP or Bloc MP's who might support the Bill, email MP Leon Benoit Benoit.L@parl.gc.ca and me at sfortin@ca.inter.net
