E-petitions to the House of Commons

Misinformation that denies or distorts the history and harms of the residential school system continues to retraumatize Survivors and their families and contributes to rising anti Indigenous hate in Canada;

Protecting Indigenous peoples from hate-based misinformation aligns with Canada’s commitments to reconciliation and with the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action;

The federal government has a responsibility to protect Indigenous peoples from hate and the incitement of violence, and has the authority to prevent the promotion of hatred against identifiable groups through the Criminal Code;

Bill C-254, introduced by MP Leah Gazan in the House of Commons on October 31, 2025, would amend the Criminal Code to create an offence of wilfully promoting hatred against Indigenous peoples by condoning, denying, downplaying, or justifying the Indian Residential School system in public statements.

We, the undersigned,residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato:1. Support and advance Bill C-254 through all stages of the legislative process and pass it into law; 1. Support and advance Bill C-254 through all stages of the legislative process and pass it into law; 2. Affirm the federal government’s obligation to combat anti Indigenous hate, including public denial or distortion of the residential school system; and 3. Ensure adequate resources for public education, Survivor led initiatives, and community based responses to residential school denialism and anti Indigenous hate.

There is a critical safeguarding gap where children, or likenesses and dolls intended to represent children, can appear in otherwise non-explicit social media or promotional content used to advertise or drive engagement for commercial adult-content businesses;

Children cannot consent to being associated with, or used to market and promote, commercial pornography or adult-content enterprises;

Current federal law does not explicitly prohibit the inclusion of children or child representations in non-explicit marketing materials that serve to promote adult-content businesses or platforms; and

Establishing clear legal boundaries to protect children from being used as promotional or engagement tools for adult-oriented businesses is an urgent public safety and child protection priority within federal jurisdiction.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commons in Parliament assembledto:1. Introduce legislation and amend the Criminal Code to make it illegal to use children, or their likeness (including synthetic media, digital representations, or child-like dolls), in advertising, promotional material, or social media content used to promote commercial pornography or adult-content businesses, regardless of whether the material featuring the child is itself sexually explicit; and2. Create enforceable accountability mechanisms for platforms and commercial entities that permit or monetize such promotional material. 1. Introduce legislation and amend the Criminal Code to make it illegal to use children, or their likeness (including synthetic media, digital representations, or child-like dolls), in advertising, promotional material, or social media content used to promote commercial pornography or adult-content businesses, regardless of whether the material featuring the child is itself sexually explicit; and 2. Create enforceable accountability mechanisms for platforms and commercial entities that permit or monetize such promotional material.

Canadian children are constantly exposed to aggressive marketing of unhealthy, often ultra-processed, food and beverages high in sodium, sugars, or saturated fats across digital platforms, television, and public spaces;

With cognitive, emotional and decision-making abilities still developing, children are especially vulnerable to persuasive marketing tactics that can undermine caregivers’ efforts to support healthy eating;

Children aged 9 – 13 in Canada get over half of their daily calories from ultra-processed foods;

Marketing of these products shapes food preferences and eating behaviours during key developmental years, contributing to dietary patterns that can persist into adulthood;

Poor diets contribute to chronic illnesses. In 2023, an estimated 31,000 deaths and a burden of $28 billion were related to dietary factors in Canada;

Importantly, evidence shows that marketing restrictions do not increase food prices, contribute to job or wage reductions or harm to industry revenues;

80% of Canadians agree that advertising and social media create pressure on children to consume unhealthy products, and 76% support restrictions per a 2026 Environics poll;

By introducing such regulations, the government will support long-term health and economic benefits, freeing families from the influence of targeted marketing; and

Failing to act perpetuates avoidable costs, with preventable chronic disease continuing to pressure our health care system.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commonsto direct Health Canada to swiftly implement and publish regulations restricting the marketing of unhealthy food and beverages to children under age 13 using criteria already developed by Health Canada.

Statistics Canada marked a 245% increase in hate crimes across Canada between 2015 and 2025;

Canadian security agencies have warned about the rise of domestic and internationally affiliated hate groups in Canada, with CBC revealing in March 2026 that over 30 of the 200+ global active clubs are based in Canada;

According to CSIS’ Public Report 2025, nearly 1 in 10 CSIS terrorism investigations involve a suspect under 18, underscoring the rise of youth radicalization; and

Over a dozen whistleblowers revealed to the BBC that TikTok and Meta allowed harmful content to proliferate following evidence that algorithmic outrage increased engagement.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato: 1. Commission an immediate public inquiry investigating the rise of hate and extremist groups in Canada and outlining recommendations for all levels of government; 2. Publicly declare that Canada has a hate crime crisis and send a relevant Public Safety Canada briefing to all municipal and provincial governments; 3. Strengthen the transparency and timeliness of the process pertaining to the listing of organizations meeting the legal threshold for designation as terrorist entities, while ensuring clear criteria, appropriate procedural safeguards, and meaningful judicial review; 4. Establish a national, live data-sharing platform for hate crime reporting while protecting privacy rights; and 5. Emulate internationally proven best practices to reduce hate on very large online platforms while safeguarding privacy, including mandating auditing of API data by independent researchers, creating non-algorithmic feeds, and labeling AI-generated content.

There are disability support programs under provincial and territorial jurisdiction;

These programs are fragmented and poorly integrated across the country;

The lack of coordination across the country creates a mobility penalty for people with disabilities; and

This undermines the freedom of movement between provinces and territories for citizens and permanent residents, which is a protected right under Section 6 of the Canadian Constitution.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato: 1. Engage with the provinces and territories to ensure that people with disabilities can move across the country freely without losing access to essential supports; and 2. Work with the provinces and territories to ensure that disability supports have the same standards and rules across the country.

A historical legal precedent exists in Canada, where from 1935 until 1955, the Criminal Code of Canada explicitly criminalized intentional wage underpayment to protect vulnerable workers from severe economic exploitation;

Following the 1955 consolidation of the Criminal Code, this critical protection was removed, leaving the enforcement of deliberate wage withholding exclusively to provincial civil and administrative frameworks;

Important modern international precedents have been set, as comparable Commonwealth jurisdictions, notably Australia and New Zealand, have recently enacted legislation criminalizing intentional wage theft to hold non-compliant employers criminally accountable;

Current provincial employment standards mechanisms in Canada are structurally limited to civil remedies and lack the criminal investigative authorities, such as search warrants, necessary to counter deliberate asset concealment and the willful obstruction of statutory payment orders; and

Under the Constitution Act, 1867, the exclusive jurisdiction to legislate criminal offenses and to authorize corresponding criminal investigative powers required to close this enforcement vacuum rests solely with the federal Parliament.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commons in Parliament assembledto urge the Government of Canada to amend the Criminal Code to reintroduce and modernize federal provisions that criminalize intentional wage theft and the deliberate concealment of assets to evade statutory wage orders, thereby protecting the economic security of Canadian workers.

Infection-associated neuroinflammatory conditions, including Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS), cause sudden, severe neuropsychiatric deterioration in children following common infections;

PANS and PANDAS are treatable medical conditions; however, early identification and prompt medical intervention are critical to prevent long-term neurological complications, chronic disability, and severe symptom escalation;

Families across Canada face major care gaps and diagnostic delays due to a critical lack of standardized education across medical, mental health, and educational systems; and

While healthcare delivery is provincially managed, federal leadership sets national health standards, funds medical research, and drives cross-jurisdictional clinical frameworks.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commons in Parliament assembledto: 1. Establish a National Strategy for Infection-Associated Neuropsychiatric Disorders to support early identification, standardized care, and equitable access to treatment nationwide; 2. Direct targeted research funding through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) for clinical trials, biomarker discovery, and early intervention protocols; and 3. Partner with Health Canada and professional bodies to fund and mandate accredited Continuing Medical Education (CME) and training modules on post-infectious neuroinflammation for medical specialists (pediatric neurologists, psychiatrists, immunologists, rheumatologists, infectious disease, emergency), primary and allied health providers (family physicians, pediatricians, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, OTs), and educational staff (school counselors and resource staff).

This government seeks to diversify Canada's trading partners, doubling non-U.S. exports by 2035;

Polling has found strong support among Canadians for increased non-U.S. trade;

The vast majority of countries use metric units as their principal measurement system for commerce; and

Alignment on weights and measures can facilitate trade.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato: 1. Phase out the commercial use of Schedule II units under the Weights and Measures Act, including pricing, packaging, advertising, billing, and measurement devices used in trade; 2. Phase out the use of Schedule II units in federal communications, digital services, and procurement; and 3. Require consumer products sold in Canada that display measurements to display Schedule I units by default.

Current guidelines rely primarily on gross annual income, which often includes overtime, bonuses, and irregular earnings. This approach can penalize parents who work overtime out of necessity, or to meet existing obligations, and create unstable support orders that fluctuate with temporary or unpredictable income;

While child support is intended to benefit children, there is currently no mechanism for transparency or accountability regarding how funds are used; and

Canadian families and economic conditions have changed significantly since the guidelines were introduced.

We, the undersigned,citizens of Canada affected by the child support guidelines, call upon theMinister of Justiceto: 1. Amend child support guideline calculations to be based on net income, excluding overtime and other non-guaranteed earnings, unless such income is demonstrably consistent and long-term; and 2. Initiate a comprehensive review that incorporates contemporary family structures, employment realities, and the best interests of children in today’s Canada.

Online businesses increasingly offer free trials, quizzes, assessments and other digital services that may result in unexpected charges or recurring subscriptions;

Consumers may be required to cancel a free trial to avoid being charged, meaning that forgetting or failing to act is treated as consent to purchase;

Consumers may also invest considerable time completing an online quiz, health questionnaire, cognitive assessment or other test before being told that payment is required to receive the results;

These practices can affect anyone but may disproportionately harm seniors, people experiencing cognitive decline, people with disabilities, and others who may be particularly vulnerable to confusing or manipulative online practices; and

Paying for something should require a conscious decision to buy it, not simply forgetting to say no.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commons in Parliament assembledto further strengthen consumer-protection and competition legislation to: 1. Require affirmative consent before a free trial converts to a paid subscription; 2. Provide that silence, inaction or failure to cancel does not constitute consent to begin paid recurring charges; 3. Require the price of online quizzes, tests or assessments to be clearly disclosed before a consumer begins them; 4. Require separate, explicit consent for recurring payments; and 5. Prohibit deceptive interface designs that make purchasing easy but cancellation unnecessarily difficult. Paying for something should require a conscious decision to buy it, not simply forgetting to say no.

Millions of Canadians continue to face financial barriers when seeking counselling, psychotherapy, addictions treatment, and other community-based mental health services;

Nearly one in five Canadians experiences a mental health problem or illness each year, and about half of Canadians will experience mental illness by age 40;

Canadians are too often forced to pay out of pocket, rely on inadequate private insurance, endure lengthy wait times, seek help only in crisis through emergency departments, or go without care altogether;

The human and economic costs of untreated mental illness are profound, placing growing pressure on hospitals, first responders, families, workplaces, and communities, while costing Canada’s economy billions of dollars annually;

Evidence shows that investing in timely, community-based mental health care improves outcomes, reduces long-term costs, and strengthens the sustainability of our public healthcare system; and

Canadians overwhelmingly support universal access to mental health care and have called for mental health to be treated with the same importance as physical health.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato:1. Work with provinces, territories, Indigenous partners, healthcare professionals, people with lived and living experience, and community organizations to establish parity between mental and physical health in Canada’s universal healthcare system; 1. Work with provinces, territories, Indigenous partners, healthcare professionals, people with lived and living experience, and community organizations to establish parity between mental and physical health in Canada’s universal healthcare system; 2. Provide stable, long-term federal funding to expand access to medically necessary mental health, addictions, and substance use services in every region of the country; and 3. Pass Bill C-280, the Mental Health Parity Act, to create a national framework that ensures Canadians can access medically necessary mental health, addictions, and substance use care based on need, not their ability to pay or where they live.

Canadian food labeling regulations currently contain a major loophole regarding "component ingredients," which allows secondary ingredients (such as annatto or artificial food colourings) to remain hidden from consumers if they are part of a standardized pre-made component (such as "cheddar cheese" or processed meats);

Tens of thousands of Canadian children suffer from severe allergic reactions, behavioral issues, and food intolerances tied directly to artificial food colourings and natural colorants like annatto;

The European Union (EU) successfully enforces a "Zero Loopholes" policy requiring every single food additive to be explicitly declared, forcing multinational corporations to manufacture cleaner, safer versions of their products for European store shelves while continuing to sell chemically altered, poorly labeled versions to Canadian families; and

Thirteen-year-olds and vulnerable consumers should not be required to possess advanced degrees in food science or reverse-engineer ingredient lists simply to eat safely.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commonsto: 1. Direct Health Canada to immediately amend the Food and Drug Regulations to close the component ingredient loophole, making it mandatory for all food manufacturers to explicitly list all sub-ingredients, colours, and additives used within a component; 2. Expand the Priority Allergen List or establish a secondary mandatory disclosure framework (similar to "May Contain" declarations) that requires clear, plain-language front-of-package warnings for artificial food colourings and common triggering colourants like annatto; and 3. Harmonize Canadian food safety and transparency standards with the European Union to ensure Canadian children receive the same health protections and ingredient honesty as children overseas.

Thousands of people in Vancouver are living without permanent housing, including people living on the streets and in shelters;

Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, known for its high concentration of people experiencing homelessness, is an entire community suffering trauma, poverty, mental health challenges, addiction, discrimination, stigma, and the consequences of inadequate housing;

The recent landmark Superior Court Ruling, in May 2026, signals governments to take meaningful and proactive steps to ensure people have access to safe and adequate housing and the supports they need, without discrimination, and that courts can intervene when governments fail to meet these obligations; and

Political will is necessary to create real change by providing the desperately needed funding to accelerate further the development and implementation of the Housing First Program.

We, the undersigned,citizens of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commonsto: 1. Take immediate action to address the homelessness crisis in Vancouver, British Columbia by providing increased federal funding to the Province of British Columbia and its agencies to prioritize the Housing First Program; and 2. Commit this federal funding to increase the stock of adequate housing by at least 3,500 units over five years, to include: 1,000 supportive housing units, 500 complex-care housing units and 2,000 deeply affordable homes, with federal rent subsidies for deeply affordable rents of no more than 1/3 of net monthly income.

Federal correctional officers play an essential role in public safety and in the course of their duties are regularly exposed to assault, threats, death, suicide, emergency interventions and other potentially traumatic events;

Repeated or cumulative exposure to these events can lead to operational stress injuries and have significant and lasting consequences on their mental health;

These injuries require early intervention as well as timely access to specialized professionals who understand the realities and risks specific to the corrections environment; and

Specialized and ongoing support promotes recovery and helps prevent severe psychological distress and suicide.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call uponthe Government of Canadato: 1. Officially recognize the risks of operational stress injuries associated with the duties of federal correctional officers; 2. Establish a federal system to ensure that federal correctional officers suffering from operational stress injuries have timely, priority access to specialized operational mental health assessments, treatments and monitoring that are tailored to the corrections environment; and 3. Ensure access to specialized, multidisciplinary support and continuity of care for as long as the condition requires, including suicide prevention measures and interventions in situations of psychological distress.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable, fatal neurodegenerative disease, and most Canadians diagnosed with it live two to five years (ALS Society of Canada);

ALS and similar progressive diseases require sustained caregiving—help with eating, transferring, communication, and breathing—for months or years before death, usually from family members who reduce or leave paid employment;

Employment Insurance family caregiver benefits for adults require certification on sudden change in health rather than steady decline;

Employment Insurance compassionate care benefits require certification of a significant risk of death within 26 weeks (Employment Insurance Act, s, 23.1), and prognosis in these diseases cannot reliably be narrowed to such a window;

Caregivers therefore qualify for neither benefit during the long, middle period of the disease, when care needs are greatest; and

Provincial job-protected leave provides no income, and the Canada caregiver amounts (Income Tax Act, s. 118(1)(d)) are non-refundable credits that reduce tax payable but cannot produce a refund (Canada Revenue Agency, Federal Income Tax and Benefit Guide), and so are worth noting to a caregiver who has left the workforce.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato amend the Employment Insurance Act so that a confirmed diagnosis of a progressive, life-limiting neurodegenerative disease establishes eligibility for caregiving benefits without requiring certification of critical illness or of a significant risk of death within 26 weeks.

The immigration status of victims of family or domestic violence often depends on the abusive spouse;

Canada has created a temporary resident permit for victims of family violence, which allows victims to escape their situation and which gives them a new future;

The temporary resident permit for victims of family violence has four eligibility requirements, including "experiencing abuse or neglect by your spouse or common-law partner (your abuser) while in Canada”;

Victims of family or domestic violence who experienced violence in Canada but were able to leave the abusive relationship while in Canada are regularly excluded from making a request because of this requirement, which puts them in a vulnerable situation; and

Family violence can continue even after the relationship ends, which is known as post-separation abuse.

We, the undersigned,citizens of Canada,call upon theMinister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenshipto:1. Review the eligibility requirements and directives of the temporary resident permit for victims of family violence in order to further protect victims during and after their relationship with an abusive spouse; and2. Review the complexity of the process for the temporary resident permit for victims of family violence in order to simplify and speed up immigration requests. 1. Review the eligibility requirements and directives of the temporary resident permit for victims of family violence in order to further protect victims during and after their relationship with an abusive spouse; and 2. Review the complexity of the process for the temporary resident permit for victims of family violence in order to simplify and speed up immigration requests.

The government’s “AI for All” Strategy (published June 4, 2026) encourages heavy adoption of AI by businesses without considering the probable impacts on Canadian job numbers;

The Strategy earmarks $200 billion in taxpayer money for a speculative and unproven technology;

The Strategy fails to address the environmental and climate impacts of 60% AI adoption by 2034; and

The Strategy aims to “provide access to trusted AI agents for every post-secondary student” while disregarding the likely consequences to educational standards (i.e. widespread AI-enabled cheating).

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato: 1. Immediately conduct a study of the Strategy’s likely impact on short-term and long-term Canadian job numbers; 2. If a net job loss is forecasted, rework the Strategy to prioritize job preservation and creation for Canadians; 3. Commit the $200 billion in stages, with subsequent investment dependent on real, tangible benefits for Canadians, and prioritize Canadian-owned, Canadian-housed servers; 4. Undertake a rigorous scientific assessment of the likely environmental and climate impacts of 60% AI adoption by 2034; 5. Work closely with the academic sector to ensure meaningful educational standards are maintained; 6. Uphold Canada’s national mandate to “foster and promote the study and enjoyment of, and the production of works in, the arts,” and protect the interests of Canadian creators against mass-produced AI content; and 7. Weighing all projected negative impacts (economic, educational, social, and environmental) against projected benefits, reassess whether there is a clear mandate for the Strategy, or whether it should be revoked or modified.

Children experience time differently than adults, and months or years of uncertainty, conflict and court delay can represent a significant portion of a child's childhood;

Canada's family justice system should place children's safety, stability, well-being and meaningful participation at the centre of decisions affecting them;

Families can face prolonged proceedings, significant financial and emotional hardship, barriers to accessing justice, inconsistent processes and difficulties navigating multiple courts, agencies and professionals;

Concerns involving family violence, coercive control, child abuse, parental alienation, family estrangement and children's safety require timely, impartial and evidence-based assessment; and

Greater consistency and coordination are needed among the laws, policies, procedures, agencies and professionals affecting children and families.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato: Establish a comprehensive national review of Canada's family justice system within federal jurisdiction and work collaboratively with provinces and territories on matters within their respective jurisdictions; Examine court delays, children's safety and participation, family violence and child protection, access to justice and affordability, self-represented litigants, enforcement of family court orders, accountability and professional standards, and consistency among courts, child protection agencies, police, schools, legal professionals, health professionals and other services affecting families; and Publish findings and recommendations identifying legislative, policy and procedural reforms needed to create a more timely, consistent, accessible, accountable and child-focused family justice system in Canada.

Coercive control is a pattern of behaviour used to control, isolate, threaten, or exploit another person;

Federal discussions about coercive control have mainly focused on intimate partner violence;

The current language is too limiting because it does not fully reflect how coercive control can be used by people in positions of trust or care, especially against older adults and dependent persons;

Coercive control can also happen in relationships where one person has trust, authority, care, financial control, or decision-making power over another person;

This can include abuse of older adults, dependent adults, and people with disabilities by caregivers, adult children, attorneys under a power of attorney, guardians, trustees, substitute decision-makers, or others in positions of trust;

Older adults can be especially vulnerable when another person controls their money, housing, medication, transportation, phone, visitors, appointments, food, or access to care; and

If the law only recognizes coercive control in intimate partner relationships, people harmed by coercive control in other relationships of trust may be left without proper protection.

We, the undersigned,residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commonsto:1. Broaden the current or proposed federal coercive control language so it is not limited to intimate partner relationships;2. Include coercive control by a person in a position of trust, authority, care, dependency, financial control, or decision-making power;3. Clearly recognize coercive control against older adults, dependent adults, and people with disabilities; and4. Include patterns such as isolation, threats, intimidation, financial exploitation, withholding care, restricting communication, controlling medication or health care, blocking visitors, limiting movement, or misusing legal authority. 1. Broaden the current or proposed federal coercive control language so it is not limited to intimate partner relationships; 2. Include coercive control by a person in a position of trust, authority, care, dependency, financial control, or decision-making power; 3. Clearly recognize coercive control against older adults, dependent adults, and people with disabilities; and 4. Include patterns such as isolation, threats, intimidation, financial exploitation, withholding care, restricting communication, controlling medication or health care, blocking visitors, limiting movement, or misusing legal authority.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms, specifically uncensored AI "girlfriend" and adult roleplay services, allow users to upload photos directly to their platforms without mandatory safety pre-screening;

These platforms often operate under a "no-filter" or "unfiltered" policy, creating an environment where user-uploaded images can easily be processed into non-consensual sexualized content or Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM); and

Voluntary industry pledges and post-harm reporting mechanisms are insufficient to prevent the creation and dissemination of illegal and exploiting content before it occurs.

We, the undersigned,Citizens and Residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato1. Legally mandate Safety-by-Design pre-screening upload filters on all generative AI platforms operating in or accessible within Canada;2. Require AI platforms to automatically detect and block user-uploaded images containing non-consensual sexual content or CSAM before the AI processes or generates outputs;3. Enforce strict regulatory accountability and penalties for AI platforms, including adult roleplay and companion applications, that fail to maintain real-time image scanning standards. 1.

The Canada Health Act establishes public administration, comprehensiveness, universality, portability and accessibility as national criteria for publicly funded health care;

Universal access to medically necessary health care based on need, rather than ability to pay, is fundamental to Canada’s health care system;

Evidence from systematic reviews has associated increased privatization and for-profit delivery of health care with poorer patient outcomes, reduced staffing, increased costs and inequities in access, while evidence that privatization improves quality of care remains limited;

The erosion of universal health care may occur through extra-billing and user charges, but also through the removal of medically necessary services from public coverage, inadequate public capacity, preferential access for those able to pay, or the diversion of health care resources toward private-pay delivery;

Changes in health care delivery must not permit the principles of the Canada Health Act to be circumvented;

We, the undersigned,People of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato1. Vigorously enforce the Canada Health Act and its principles of public administration, comprehensiveness, universality, portability and accessibility; 1. Vigorously enforce the Canada Health Act and its principles of public administration, comprehensiveness, universality, portability and accessibility; 2. Introduce legislation to strengthen and modernize the Act, including clearer national standards for reasonable access to medically necessary care; 3. Prevent circumvention of the Act through patient charges, membership or preferential-access fees, removal of medically necessary services from universal coverage, or other financial or structural barriers; 4. Strengthen conditions attached to federal health transfers to protect adequate public health care capacity and prevent the creation of two-tier access based on ability to pay; and 5. Establish stronger transparency, compliance and enforcement mechanisms to ensure federal health funding supports accessible, universal health care.

People with autism, non-speaking individuals, and people with intellectual or developmental disabilities can face immediate, life-threatening risk when they go missing, whether or not abduction is suspected;

These risks can be especially urgent when a missing person may have difficulty communicating, recognizing danger, seeking help, or finding their way to safety;

Existing missing-person public alert frameworks can rely on criteria such as age or suspected abduction, which may leave gaps when a vulnerable person faces immediate danger but does not meet those criteria;

Authority over alert criteria rests with each province and territory, and consistent national standards, including how alerts are distributed and reported, would help ensure new alert frameworks have real world impact rather than existing only on paper; and

Families, advocacy organizations, and communities have called for a coordinated national approach to public alerts and use of voluntary location finding technology for vulnerable people.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato convene provinces, territories, law enforcement, autism and disability organizations, and affected families to develop shared national standards for a vulnerable missing persons alert framework to better protect people with autism, non-speaking individuals, and people with intellectual or developmental disabilities who wander or go missing, including geo-targeted alert distribution based on the missing person's likely location, use of voluntary location finding technology, clear authority and appropriate tools for law enforcement to act quickly, annual public reporting on number of alerts requested and issued in each jurisdiction, and dedicated public awareness and first responder training so that any new framework has real world impact.

Canadians are being forced to circumnavigate the Canada Health Act and the underfunded and, in many cases, mismanaged public healthcare system in their own provinces by going to other provinces to pay for timely medical treatments themselves

Alberta and Ontario have passed legislation allowing for billing patients directly for healthcare services that should be publicaly funded according to the Canada Health Act

Alberta has introduced self-referral for privately funded diagnostic imaging that will divert resources to private testing facilities from the already strained public healthcare system and, in violation of the Canada Health Act, give preference to those that can afford to pay

Wait times for healthcare, and specifically emergency services, has increased across Canada to the point where people have unnecessarily died

We, the undersigned,Citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato enforce the Canada Health Act by holding Alberta, Ontario and any other provinces in clear violation of the Canada Health Act to account; 1. Provide leadership and work with the Provinces to develop true national public healthcare system to close the loop hole of people paying for medical services in other provinces when they can not receive timely service in their own province; 2. Review national contributions to the public healthcare to enable closing of the loop hole to border jump for medical services and support the healthcare system that is nationally underfunded; and 3. Develop enforceable standards for provinces and the federal government to meet that will them accountable for delivery of timely and truly national healthcare.

The Government of Canada is legally obligated under the 2021 Safe Drinking Water for First Nations class action settlement agreement to introduce legislation that upholds First Nations’ equal right to clean, safe drinking water;

The Liberal government’s Bill C-37, the First Nations Clean Water Act, falls significantly short of this legal obligation, failing to recognize the human right of all First Nations individuals to clean drinking water;

Bill C-37 limits First Nations’ jurisdiction and authority over water to RESERVE LANDS ONLY, excluding lands over which Aboriginal title is claimed by a First Nation, or has been confirmed by a court;

The Liberals have excluded Article 25 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples from Bill C-37 to bypass First Nations’ rights in Modern Treaties and in traditional lands and territories; and

Just like in Bill C-5, Bill C-37 is part of a broader trend of the Carney Liberal government repeatedly violating Indigenous Constitutional and Treaty rights and ignoring their duty to consult and obtain the free, prior and informed consent of Indigenous Peoples.

We, the undersigned,residents of Canada and First Nations,, call upon theGovernment of Canadato amend Bill C-37 to recognize the human right of all First Nations individuals to clean drinking water, to be compliant with ALL articles of UNDRIP, and to commit sufficient funding to ensure the right to clean water is upheld in practice.
