Petition to the House of Commons
- Among heterosexual sexually active Canadians not intending to conceive, 15% use no contraception at all, and withdrawal remains the third most used contraceptive in Canada;
- 24% of Canadians don`t have access to a subsidized drug plan, meaning they must pay out of pocket for medications like contraception; and
- Provision of subsidized contraceptives has shown to be cost-benecial in a number of jurisdictions including the United States and Great Britain by reducing the costs of unintended pregnancy.
