E-petition
Initiated by Oleksiy Mykhaylichenko from Coquitlam, British Columbia

Original language of petition: English

Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:
  • The federal government of Canada has recognized the Russian Federation as a foreign state supporting terrorism; and
  • The federal government of Canada has issued sanctions against the Russian Federation and various Russian Federation officials, yet it continues to extend state immunity to the Russian Federation, thereby preventing Canadian nationals and residents from seeking remedies against the Russian Federation in Canadian courts.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to issue an order adding the Russian Federation to the list of foreign states that support terrorism, pursuant to S. 6.1(1) and (2) of the State Immunity Act R.S.C., 1985, c. S-18.
