E-petition
Initiated by MARTIN DAIGLE from Québec, Quebec
Original language of petition: French
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
- Firefighters play a critical role in ensuring the safety of Canadians and communities.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled, regarding the recently passed Bill C-224 addressing cancers among firefighters, to ensure that the commemorative program for first responders change the following criterion (deceased after April 1, 2018), because all those who died before April 1, 2018, are being mistreated, cannot make use of this program and are automatically rejected, and they contracted the diseases that killed them from their work, so we ask that the criterion of “deceased after April 1, 2018” be abolished so that everyone can have access to the first responders program, not just a few.
