441-02772 Civil and human rights
Petition to the House of Commons
We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House of Commons to the following:
Whereas:
Canadians have the right to be protected against discrimination;
Canadians can and do face political discrimination;
It is a fundamental Canadian right to be politically active and vocal;
It is in the best interest of Canadian democracy to protect public debate and the exchange of differing ideas; and
Bill C-257 seeks to add protection against political discrimination to the Canadian Human Rights Act.
Therefore we, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to:
1. Support Bill C-257 which bans discrimination on the basis of political belief or activity; and
2. Defend the rights of Canadians to peacefully express their political opinions.
