Notice from the Christian Civic Action Committee (Download PDF here)

Firstly, our Federal Liberal government is close to passing Bill C-7, the bill that will liberalize euthanasia laws to levels among the most unrestrained in the world. It is to committee stage and will move quickly. We must contact our politicians immediately.

Secondly, the Federal government is also moving on Bill C-6, a bill to ban Conversion Therapy. There are grave concerns that this bill will limit discussion, counseling, preaching, and even health access for those who do not agree with the current, politically correct beliefs. Again, immediate action is needed.

What we need to do is:

  1. Update our knowledge. That is most easily done by reading the recent letters of concern issued by the Conference of Canadian Catholic Bishops (CCCB). Those letters are easy to read, current, very relevant, and highlight Catholic concerns. The letter concerning euthanasia law changes is written by our former pastor, Archbishop Richard Gagnon. Addressing the need for palliative care as a positive alternative is ignored, with access to services lagging across the country. 
  2. Contact our political representatives: our MPs, the Minister of Justice, the Minister for Disabilities, and the Prime Minister. Means of contact are listed below. A handwritten letter is most effective. A phone call is quick. An e-mail is better than no contact. Please, pray for our leaders and act on the below links.
