e-3352 (Parliament and politics)

E-petition
Initiated by Bruce Baker from Kingston, Ontario

Original language of petition: English

Petition to the House of Commons

Whereas:
  • The Honourable Member from Cloverdale—Langley City called the Honourable Member from Don Valley West "unclean" due to him being a member of the LGBTQ2+ community;
  • Hundreds of thousands of Canadians also belong to the LGBTQ2+ community; and
  • Being called "unclean" by an Honourable Member is deeply offensive and alienating to those who are LGBTQ2+.
We, the undersigned, Queen's University Liberal Association, call upon the House of Commons to:
1. Seek an apology from the Member from Cloverdale—Langley City to the Honourable Member from Don Valley West as well as all LGBTQ2+ Canadians for her deeply offensive and inappropriate comments; and
2. Mandate the appropriate committee to ensure that "unclean" be added to the list of unparliamentary language when it is referring to another individual.
