e-2754 (Employment and labour)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- The current COVID-19 crisis has highlighted just how important it is for Canadians to stand shoulder to shoulder with those needing support;
- The Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities (HUMA) report entitled "Supporting Families After the Loss of a Child" and its seven recommendations are a path forward for ensuring that grieving parents do not have to endure further hardship or suffer any undue financial or emotional distress as a result of the design of government programming;
- Well over a year has passed since the HUMA report was tabled, and no concrete action has been taken by the government; and
- Grieving parents will no longer accept excuses from this government and expect action to be taken immediately to provide better support and compassion for those who have suffered as a result of pregnancy and infant loss.
