e-2055 (China)
E-petition
Initiated by Filippo Ferri from Victoria, British Columbia
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- Illegal fentanyl kills over 3,000 Canadians a year;
- This death rate is at crisis levels and is causing havoc within our country;
- China is the primary source of fentanyl or the ingredients used in making it;
- It is difficult to control the influx of fentanyl as its potency allows it to be easily shipped by mail or hidden in shipping containers; and
- The lack of oversight in China allows this illegal fentanyl to be shipped to Canada and around the world.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to :
1) Protest to the Government of China that illegal fentanyl from its country is killing Canadian Citizens;
2) Pressure the Government of China to apply more stringent oversight of its pharmaceutical and chemical industries so as to stop the illegal shipment of fentanyl and its precursor ingredients from its country; and
3) Direct the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) to increase measures aimed at stemming the flow of fentanyl into Canada.
