This is the best summary I could come up with:


The Prime Minister’s Office is supporting a bill brought forward by an MP Tuesday to ban the transport of live horses to Japan for slaughter to make a raw horse-meat delicacy.

It said a bill brought forward by Liberal Tim Louis will fulfill an election pledge to ban live horses being flown abroad for slaughter to make basashi, a horse-meat sashimi served in high-end restaurants.

The publication of the bill followed a meeting in July between Mr. Trudeau and singer-songwriter Jann Arden, who has been at the forefront of a campaign to end the export of live horses to Japan.

Animal-welfare groups and campaigners have been calling on Canada for years to follow the lead of the United States and Britain and ban the export of live horses for slaughter.

The horses are specially bred on farms in Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario, and transported by road to airports and then flown by Korean Air to Japan in crates.

Kayako IIda, first secretary at the Japanese embassy, said: “Japan well recognizes the importance of animal welfare and hopes that the needed trade will continue by transport measures that meet international standards.”
