Canada’s animals urgently need a voice in Parliament—and this election, you can help make it happen.
Watch the full recording of the National All-Party Animal Protection Debate, where candidates from four of Canada’s major political parties went head-to-head on how they plan to protect animals and strengthen federal laws.
