Petition Text
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
• According to Canadian Mental Health Association, in any given year one in five people in Canada will personally experience a mental health problem or illness;
• Approximately 20% of Canadian youth are affected by a mental illness or disorder;
• Suicide is the second leading cause of death among age 15-34;
• Only one out of five children receive appropriate mental health services;
• Mental illness changes a person's thinking and impairs sober decision making;
• Research has found that 46% of people who die by suicide had a known mental health condition;
• Mental illness can be treated and recover, leading to a meaningful and productive life; and
• For recovery, mental health patients need a message of hope, not an option of death.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to support Bill C-218 to exclude mental illness or disorder from MAID and to invest resources to mental health services.
