e-4625 (Civil and human rights)
E-petition
Initiated by Donald Friesen from Brandon, Manitoba
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Prime Minister
Whereas:
- Currently, the human rights of the Canadian 2SLGBTQIA+ community are endangered by any Canadian organization or political party;
- Canada made it a priority under the current federal government to protect the human rights of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community;
- Currently, Canadian 2SLGBTQIA+ human rights can be diminished or revoked, creating huge distress and negative consequences for this community; and
- The current "Not Withstanding Clause" that exists in federal legislation can override these rights in Canada.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Ensure that 2SLGBTQIA+ human rights in Canada are permanent and therefore cannot be diminished in any way or revoked by any political party, office or organization in Canada; and
2. Ensure that Canadian 2SLGBTQIA+ federal human rights are protected from being diminished or revoked by the federal "Not Withstanding Clause" legislation.
