Cependant, je tiens à ajouter que ces personnes, après avoir réussi à mobiliser le public et à recueillir 12 000 signatures, ont cessé de recueillir d'autres signatures en apprenant que le Sénat du Canada étudiait ce projet de loi, car elles sont profondément convaincues que le Sénat du Canada a entendu la requête exprimée dans leur pétition.
However, I would add that these individuals, having had the kind of public response that they did and having garnered some 12,000 signatures, upon hearing that the Senate of Canada was proceeding with this bill, stopped collecting further petitions in the sincere belief that the Senate of Canada had heeded the prayer contained within their petition.
