Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
- The citizens of Canada should have a better understanding of the issues women face;
- The citizens of Canada should have a better understanding of the great achievements women have made;
- Our youth, male and female, need to have a greater respect and understanding of these issues and achievements;
- The road women have paved for our future still needs work, to ensure we all walk side by side;
- Women are the caregivers of our future and the caretakers of our history;
- Women are the pillars of our community, they are the economic stability with limited resources;
- We have a responsibility to our young women to ensure they mature into proud Canadian women; and
- Women go to war and fight for our rights and privilege.
We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to recognize and acknowledge the issues women have overcome, and celebrate these accomplishments by creating a statutory holiday in respect of the International Women's Day on March 8th.
