Conservative ministers champion crime bill in Senate

I have a second story on the national page of Xtra.ca today, which is a brief recap of the testimony made by ministers Rob Nicholson and Vic Toews at the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee last night. While the other reporters in the room left after the ministers left, I stuck around to watch the senators question the department officials who remained, and thanks to the continued questions from Senator Fraser, learned that the language of the bill casts a much wider net around drug trafficking than the minister seemed to indicate, which was a very interesting tidbit that made it into the story.
