E-petition
Initiated by Katarina Gavrilyuk from St.John's, Newfoundland and Labrador
Original language of petition: English
Petition to Clifford Small
Whereas:
- The Government of Canada made a commitment on January 10, 2023, to deliver the National Advanced Surface to Air Missile System (NASAMS) to Ukraine to support its defense against Russia's missiles;
- Despite the passage of time since this commitment was made, there has been a significant delay in the delivery of the NASAMS system;
- A lack of transparency regarding the delivery timeline and details of contracts with manufacturing companies has created an information gap; and
- The urgency to strengthen Ukraine's air defense capabilities is paramount.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Clarify the Current Status: Immediately provide a transparent update on the current status of the NASAMS;
2. Prioritize Civilian Protection: Recognize the delivery of the NASAMS air defense system as a matter of urgent humanitarian concern;
3. Expedite the Delivery Process: Take all necessary diplomatic and logistical steps to expedite the delivery of the NASAMS system to Ukraine; and
4. Strengthen Communication: Maintain open and regular communication with Ukrainian officials and the public regarding the progress of this delivery;
The urgency of this petition cannot be overstated. Every day of delay puts more lives at risk and emboldens Russia who try to kill as many Ukrainians and destroy as much Ukraine as it could. We kindly request a prompt response to this petition, outlining the steps the Government of Canada will take to address these concerns and expedite the delivery of the NASAMS air defense system to Ukraine. Actions Speak Louder Than Words.
