e-909 (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms)

E-petition
Initiated by Derrick James from Winnipeg, Manitoba

Original language of petition: English

Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:
  • Differential justice based on an individual’s religion is prejudicial and preferential, therefore, an amendment to the Constitution Act of 1982 would ease the minds of all Canadians and ensure equal treatment for everyone under the Criminal Code of Canada.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to propose an amendment to the Constitution Act of 1982, under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, stating that Sharia Law or separate Sharia family courts will never have a place in the Canadian Justice System.
