Petition Text
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
• Gender affirming care is a form of life saving and evidence-based healthcare;
• The Government of Alberta has limited who can have reasonable access to healthcare through Bill 26;
• The Canada Health Act states that “eligible residents of Canada must have reasonable access to required health services”;
• The Canadian Medical Association has stated this legislation is an unprecedented intrusion into the physician’s ability to follow clinical guidelines, and the needs of patients;
• It is up to patients and their healthcare provider to decide what care they require;
• The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms upholds the right of residents of Canada to Section 2a (the right to freedom of conscience in medical practice), Section 7 (the right to life, liberty and security of the person), Section 12 (the right to be free from cruel and unusual treatment), and Section 15 (equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination);
• The denial of gender affirming care can lead to profound consequences on the psychological welfare of youth, which can result in suicidal ideation or suicide; and
• Our leaders should be encouraging youth to receive healthcare as advised by their healthcare providers, rather than undermining it.
We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to ensure all eligible residents of Canada can access required healthcare, including gender affirming healthcare, as outlined in the Canada Health Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
