Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
- It must be recognized that housing is a fundamental human right;
- Our leaders must recognize the urgency of this situation and implement effective solutions that uphold the dignity of all Canadians; and
- There must be accountability and a public apology: Canadians impacted by the housing crisis deserve recognition for the suffering and systemic neglect they have faced, with the government acknowledging its responsibility in addressing the escalating crisis, and it is imperative that a unified, non-partisan commitment is made to effectively end the housing crisis.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to:
1. Publicly acknowledge housing as a human right by officially recognizing and enshrining the right to adequate housing within Canada’s legislative framework to ensure every Canadian has access to safe and affordable housing, regardless of socioeconomic status;
2. Issue a public apology by acknowledging all parties' failure to secure this right for all Canadians and issue a public apology to all Canadians for the rights of liberty, life, and security which they all have infringed upon;
3. Create a National Housing Strategy with concrete targets and develop and implement a clear, actionable plan to ensure that every Canadian has access to adequate housing within the next two to five years; and
4. Come up with an action plan to lower inflation and costs of living for all Canadians.
