They honestly had no about this topic coming up, there was no debate. The Tory rep who co-signed the bill wasn't even there.</div><div>The Tory majority simply voted against it swiftly. It's the first time since 1927 that the Senate dared to turn down a proposal that had already been fully passed by the House of Commons. </div><div><br></div><div>This move had strategic timing because now when we return to the upcoming international climate change talks we'll have absolutely nothing to show for our nation's plan to reduce emissions.</div><div><br></div><div>Please participate in the CBC poll and if you want to send a message to the Prime
Minister he can be reached at <a href="http://pm.gc.ca/eng/contact.asp?featureId=10">http://pm.gc.ca/eng/contact.asp?featureId=10</a></div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div><br></div><div>The Chamber of Commerce helped kill Bill C-311 with heavy lobbying.
