Petition Text
Petition to the Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, Intergovernmental Affairs and One Canadian Economy
Whereas:
• Canada’s care systems are an essential economic infrastructure that enable labour-force participation, productivity, public health, and economic resilience;
• Women disproportionately perform both paid and unpaid care work, and inadequate care infrastructure contributes to gender inequity, reduced workforce participation, lost earnings, and economic insecurity;
• Canada’s care economy satisfies the nation-building criteria set out in the Building Canada Act by strengthening labour force participation, supporting healthy aging, improving public health outcomes, reducing poverty and financial insecurity, and increasing economic resilience; and
• Investments in care infrastructure generate significant economic and social returns, including job creation, increased workforce participation, improved child and senior outcomes, higher productivity, greater gender equity, and reduced long-term healthcare costs.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, Intergovernmental Affairs and One Canadian Economy to:
1. Recognize the care economy as essential nation-building infrastructure under the Building Canada Act;
2. Recommend to the Governor in Council add a Canadian National Care Economy Strategy to Schedule 1 of the Building Canada Act as a designated major project;
3. Direct the Major Projects Office to coordinate the development and implementation of a comprehensive national care economy strategy in collaboration with provinces, territories, Indigenous governments, care workers, caregivers, and relevant stakeholders; and
4. Allocate and commit long-term federal investment and coordination toward strengthening Canada’s childcare, home care, long-term care, disability supports, mental health services, caregiving income supports, and care workforce infrastructure.
