Petition to the Prime Minister
- Canadian foundations and organizations working to secure funding in order to deliver health care services to Canadians and to fund various research programs provide an essential service;
- Funding for these foundations and organizations has been stopped and suspended indefinitely due to citizens and sponsors staying at home, engaging in social distancing and experiencing economic hardship;
- Donations are the primary source of funding for these foundations and organizations;
- The diseases covered by these foundations and organizations cause a greater number of deaths than does COVID-19;
- The budgets of some of these foundations and organizations go mainly toward research projects that will help save many lives;
- Diseases are not contained and continue to reach Canadians;
- The 75% wage subsidy for organizations covers only a small part of the budget of these foundations and organizations; and
- Many employees of these foundations and organizations are currently unemployed, and resuming fundraising activities will be difficult and time consuming.
