Survivors of the Montreal massacre 21 years ago head to Ottawa today in hopes of saving the long-gun registry.
Among those who will be the nation's capital today is Suzanne Laplante Edward, whose daughter, Anne-Marie, was one of 14 women murdered by a crazed gunman at the Ecole Polytechnique in 1989.
Edward is pressing for the defeat of a private member's bill that calls for the long-gun registry to be scrapped.
The bill, tabled by Tory M-P Candice Hoeppner, has received second reading in the Commons, where it was supported by eight Liberals and a-third of the N-D-P caucus.
Edward wants N-D-P Leader Jack Layton to force his MPs to vote against the bill on third reading.
Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty is among those who supports the bills.
