Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
- Our rich history as a country unfortunately contains the tragedy of war and the immense loss of life;

- We, as a nation, recognize November 11 of each year as a national day of Remembrance;
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to enact legislation requiring all non-essential businesses, organizations, and establishments to take part in a mandatory national 'morning of silence,' and thus preventing all such operations from being open to the general public for any such service duly offered until at least 12:00 p.m., local time in the operation's respective jurisdiction.
