UPDATE: Katherine spoke with a representative from Senator Austin's office and reports that Bill C-22 did not make it onto the agenda of the Senate. There are no additional meetings of the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee scheduled due to the impending election call.

Katherine has reported that 84 guinea pigs were seized Monday from a small apartment in the east end of Ottawa. While the guinea pigs are presently being held at the Ottawa Humane Society ("OHS"), they will all be needing homes. To deal with its sudden influx of the furry rodents, the OHS is seeking homes for its new residents, and is asking the public for donations of carrots, apples, unopened bags of guinea pig food pellets and bags of pine shavings.
