Calls for an urgent review of U.S. Safe Third Country designation + adjustment of border and immigration policy for asylum seekers based on consultation with human rights monitoring groups.

Link: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
Petition to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Whereas: Canada is a signatory to the Safe Third Country Agreement as part of the U.S.- Canada Safe Border Plan; Canada has designated the United States of America a 'Safe Third Country' for those seeking refugee status; The United States has undertaken recent actions against undocumented migrants and other vulnerable classes, in particular members of transgender communities; and There is an ongoing requirement for the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to monitor the US’ compliance with the terms of the Agreement. We, the undersigned, Residents of Canada, call upon the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to 1. Urgently conduct a review of whether the United States continues to meet the requirements for a designation as a Safe Third Country; 2. Consult with human rights monitoring groups such as Amnesty International on the treatment of refugee claimants and vulnerable persons within the US, and how Canada's immigration and border policies must be adjusted to ensure persons seeking safety are given access to fair and judicial processes; and 3. If need be, remove the designation of the United States of America as a 'Safe Third Country' for refugee claimants.

e-6504 (Health)
Wants Government of Canada to prohibit sale/serving of alcohol to pregnant women, as well as allow those who sell and serve it to conscientiously refuse "on the basis of pregnancy, not sex."

Link: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
Petition to the Government of Canada Whereas: Prenatal alcohol exposure is the most commonly known cause of preventable developmental disability in Canada; Fetal Alcohol Syndrome causes physical harm and psychological impairment; The Government of Canada recognizes the above in their Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy; These health issues affect the baby, and by necessity, the family and the broader society; Many Canadians view it as immoral to provide a pregnant woman with alcohol; The conscience of those who refuse to serve a visibly pregnant woman alcohol is encroached upon by current law; Their refusal is not on the basis of sex, but out of concern for the child the woman carries. We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to 1. Listen to the experts who wrote the Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy by prohibiting the sale or serving of alcohol to pregnant women. This will ensure a safer, healthier society and honour the unborn by protecting them from a lifelong disability; and 2. Permit those who sell or serve alcohol to obey the dictates of their conscience and refuse the service of alcohol on the basis of pregnancy, not sex.

Link: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
Petition to the Government of Canada Whereas: The dissolution of the 44th Parliament terminated petition e-5345 before presentation and response, without recourse to carry its signatories forward effectively muzzling the voices of those 66,562 who signed from ten provinces and three territories; Donald J. Trump is a convicted and sentenced felon of the United States of America; Donald J. Trump is an insurrectionist, having engaged in one on his own US Capitol, as concluded in state court decisions in the United States of America; Donald J. Trump is making ongoing threats of both a monetary and sovereign nature against Canada; Donald J. Trump’s criminal background demonstrates that both his words and actions represent a danger to the security and sovereignty of Canada; Donald J. Trump, in his capacity as 47th President of the United States of America or otherwise, may have occasion to attempt entry to Canada; Donald J. Trump could be found inadmissible to Canada on the basis of criminality and security reasons. We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to Refuse Donald J. Trump entry to Canada until such time as he cease and desist making threats, or taking actions contrary, to the well being of Canadians, in particular to our monetary and sovereign security; compliance as a step toward overcoming his inadmissibility. 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. Declare that the removal of Canadian federal rights and freedoms of the 2SLGBTQIA+ target group be considered a form of genocide as this practice diminishes this community of people and therefore should be declared illegal by anyone attempting to do so in Canada; 2. 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 3. Ensure that Canadian 2SLGBTQIA+ federal human rights are protected from being diminished or revoked by the federal "Not Withstanding Clause" legislation.

Petition to the Government of Canada Whereas: Black Canadians have endured centuries of systemic racism, beginning with Transatlantic slavery, followed by legalized segregation, and ongoing institutional discrimination in policing, education, employment, housing, healthcare, and the justice system; Despite historical injustices exemplified by cases such as Viola Desmond and recent tragedies including the deaths of Dafonte Miller, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, and Lester Donaldson, the Government of Canada has yet to formally apologize or enact legislation specifically addressing anti-Black racism; Black Canadians continue to face disproportionate hate crimes, racial profiling, and social exclusion; Incidents such as the anti-Black hate crime at Toronto’s Exhibition Place on May 3, 2025, demonstrate the continued vulnerability and lack of protection for Black Ontarians; and Despite numerous calls to action, Canada lacks dedicated anti-Black racism legislation, leaving Black Canadians exposed to systemic harm and injustice without meaningful legal recourse. We, the undersigned, Black Canadians, call upon the Government of Canada to: 1. Formally acknowledge and apologize for the historical and ongoing injustices experienced by Black Canadians; 2. Enact comprehensive legislation that specifically addresses anti-Black racism, including hate crime protections and institutional accountability measures; and 3. Implement policies to dismantle systemic discrimination across all sectors, ensuring the safety, dignity, and equal opportunity of Black Canadians. Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled Whereas: The disabled community represents 1 in 4 Canadians; Canada ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) on March 11, 2010; The CRPD is an international human rights treaty aimed at protecting the rights and dignity of the disabled community without discrimination and on an equal basis with others; and The disabled community has not had appropriate upholding of rights as set forth by the charter of rights and freedoms. We, the undersigned, People of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to 1. Demand the Governor in Council appoint a Disability Commissioner of Canada; 2. This Disability Commissioner shall be appointed by the Governor in Council by commission under the Great Seal, after consultation with the leader of every recognized party in the Senate and the House of Commons and after approval of the appointment by resolution of the Senate and the House of Commons. The incumbent shall hold office for a seven-year term; 3. This Disabiltiy Commissioner shall investigate complaints from people who believe they have been denied rights under the Accessible Canada Act and make recommendations to government institutions; 4. This Diaasbility Commissioner shall table an annual report to Parliament, as well as periodic report cards on the performance of individual departments; and 5. This Disabilitty Commissioner shall regularly hold public consultations related to the subjects of their reports to Parliament, as well as for their periodic report cards on the performance of individual departments. Petition to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Whereas: Beginning in 2025, firewood will no longer be provided for backcountry campsites at the Kejimkujik National Park; Campers who choose to have campfires must purchase firewood and transport it to their site; Increasing backcountry camping fees by a reasonable amount would likely be a preferred solution over the logistical challenges caused by this new policy; These lands have been enjoyed by the Mi’kmaw people for centuries, and we have gained an insight to their culture through tracing ancient trails, portages and waterways; Campfires are an essential part of the backcountry experience; This policy is both impractical and counterproductive; Many backcountry campers, including hikers, kayakers and canoeists, will face significant logistical challenges, and expecting them to bring sufficient firewood for a multi-day trip is near impossible; and The policy states that it will be "encouraging responsible fire use", but many campers will resort to foraging wood from the forest and cause unnecessary harm to the local ecosystem. We, the undersigned, residents of the Province of Nova Scotia, call upon the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to 1. Consider alternative solutions rather than eliminating the firewood provision entirely; 2. Increase backcountry camping fees by a reasonable amount as most users would prefer a modest fee increase over the logistical challenges and diminished experience caused by this new policy; and 3. Encourage Parks Canada to reconsider this decision and explore more balanced approaches to maintaining both the ecological integrity and the accessibility of Kejimkujik’s backcountry.
