Thank you to all who signed on to this national petition for tax day April 30, 2001. This petition is now complete.
The petition is being sent to MPs and to media outlets for their information. Signatories included organizations as diverse as the Canadian Association of Montessori Teachers, The Canadian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, the Disabled Women's Network of Ontario, the Campbell Women's River Centre and also included individuals from across the country, from university professors to parents from Newfoundland to BC.
To preserve some sort of privacy and prevent spamming, the list of signatories is not posted on the net but if you would like a copy send me a note to

Thank you again to all. As follow-up to this petition I am going to Ottawa to meet personally with
-MP John Godfrey, Committee Chair for Children at Risk
-Senator Landon Pearson, Advisor to PM Chretien on Children's Issues for the UN Summit on Children in September
-Mrs. Barbara Kagedan, Senior Policy Advisor to the Minister of Human Resources, Jane Stewart
These meetings are tentatively scheduled for May 24,2001.
The struggle continues for equal treatment of adults whatever means they choose to take care of those they love- the sick, the young, the handicapped, the elderly, the dying. |
