      The
      rally
      and
      march
      will

      CAMPAIGN
      FOR
      NUCLEAR
      PHASE-OUT,
      which
      is
     
     
      lobbying
      M.P.’s
      to
      vote
      fora
      bill
      which
      would
      place
     
    

    
     
      a
      50
      year
      moratorium
      on
      new
      licences
      for
      non-
     
     
      medical
      nuclear
      facilities.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      If
      the
      Private
      Member’s
      Bill,
      C-204,
      passes
      second
     
    
   
   
    
     
      reading

      It
      will
      go
      to
     
     
      Committee
      for
      Parliamentary
      hearings.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Fora
      Private
      Member’s
      Bill,

      are
      allowed
      a
     
     
      free

      so
      the
      immediate
      goal

      (even
      if
      they
      plan
      to
      vote
      against
      it
      at
      the
      third
      and
     
     
      final
      reading).
      This

      open
     
     
      parliamentary
      enquiry
      into
      all
      aspects
      of
      nuclear
     
     
      energy;
      an
      enquiry
      which
      the
      Conservative
     
     
      government
      has
      promised
      three
      times
      in
      the
      last
      few
     
     
      years
      but
      has
      not
      yet
      delivered.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      As
      long
      as
      there
      is
      no
      proven,
      safe,
      long-term

      wastes,
      new
