Petition to the House of Commons
- The tragic and horrific events in Pittsburgh have brought to light the need for enhanced security so Canadians can worship and children can attend religious schools without fear of violence;
- The rising cost of security weigh heavily on religious places of worship given the other normal costs associated with operating a place of worship or religious school;
- Local police forces are strained and cannot be expected to offer comprehensive security to the hundreds of synagogues and religious schools that exist in Toronto alone; and
- All Canadians have the right to worship without fear of violent attack while exercising their right to practice their religion.
