We hear that argument anytime new animal welfare legislation is on the table, so this is nothing new.
In the past, bills on similar issues have not made it to the committee stage. The reason Bill C‑355 has made it this far is that it seeks only one thing: to end a specific practice. I don't see how this bill could allow anything else to be done. If other provisions are proposed in the future, they'll have to go through the same stages as Bill C‑355 and may not make it this far.
Let's not avoid passing an important piece of legislation that will save horses' lives just because people are afraid that other legislative measures will be put forward in the future. I don't think that's how we function as a society.
