Petition Text

Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled

Whereas:

• Canada’s population is aging rapidly, and most seniors want to remain in their homes and communities;

• Millions of Canadians provide unpaid care to family members and friends, often at significant financial, physical and emotional cost;

• Seniors and caregivers face inadequate and fragmented access to home care, respite, assisted living, transportation and community supports;

• Many seniors cannot afford the care and supports necessary to age safely and with dignity;

• Community-based seniors-serving organizations provide essential preventative services that reduce isolation, support independence and ease pressure on hospitals and long-term care; and

• Every senior in Canada deserves income security and access to appropriate care, regardless of income or where they live.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to:

1. Establish stable, long-term federal funding for home and community care;

2. Support unpaid family caregivers, including expanded respite and financial supports;

3. Strengthen Canada’s elder-care workforce and community-based seniors-serving organizations;

4. Improve access to assisted living, transportation and navigation of seniors’ services;

5. Work with provinces, territories and Indigenous governments to ensure seniors can age with dignity in the setting most appropriate to their needs; and

6. Establish a universal guaranteed liveable basic income for seniors sufficient to ensure that no senior in Canada lives in poverty.
