PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS OF CANADA

IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED CITIZENS OF CANADA, draw the attention of the House to the 
following:

THAT Canada ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child even though not 
all provinces officially endorsed the ratification;

THAT if the Convention is fully ratified and implemented in Canada, bureaucrats and the Courts 
will be legally entitled to determine what is "in the best interest of the child"--not parents;

THAT by ratifying the Convention, Canada has created a bureaucracy in order to police parents 
and enforce the guidelines of the Convention;

THAT by ratifying the Convention, Canada is considering changes to our laws respecting the rights 
of parents to discipline their children;

THAT if the Convention is fully implemented, there will be greater incentives for families to ab-
dicate their parental responsibilities to the State;

THEREFORE, your petitioners request Parliament support Motion M-300 which states:  "That, in 
the opinion of this House, the government should authorize a proclamation to be issued by the Gov-
ernor General under the Great Seal of Canada amending Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights 
and Freedoms to:  (a) recognize the fundamental right of individuals to pursue family life free from 
undue interference by the state, and (b) recognize the fundamental right and responsibility of par-
ents to direct the upbringing of their children, and urge the legislative assemblies of the other prov-
inces to do likewise."
