This issue has been tabled.
On December 16th, 2021 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued mandate letters to his ministers that would ban the export of live horses for slaughter. This campaign promise resulted in a landslide of supportive voters. Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, was expected in good faith to honour this motion.
However, at the end of March 2023, the 36,175 citizens who had signed a petition towards this motion were contacted via email and told this issue has been tabled. That’s government speak for quietly being swept under the rug. Bibeau cites a lengthy list of circumstances she must first consider before the welfare of the horses including “the impacts on producers’ livelihoods.”
Let’s flip the table.
Progress.
Jann Arden met privately with PM Justin Trudeau on June 30th, 2023 to discuss this issue. He assured Jann that steps were being taken to follow through on his commitment.
A week before this meeting, MP Tim Louis announced that he will introduce a bill to ban live horse export in Canada. While we are encouraged by this step, there is much work to be done to ensure it passes. This is a bi-partisan issue that the vast majority of Canadians support regardless of their political position. We need your help to ensure that all politicians hear our voices and vote for this bill.

Update.
On September 19th, 2023, MP Tim Louis introduced Private Member’s Bill C-355 to ban live horse export. It has the support of PM Justin Trudeau and many other representatives.
However, this is just one issue amongst many in Parliament and our politicians have a wide range of awareness about this issue. We need to double our efforts to make sure there is bipartisan support to vote for this bill. We encourage you to look up the MP in your area and contact them directly in your own words.
