E-petition
Initiated by Monique Stewart from Edmonton, Alberta
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- Emotional support animals are a reasonable accommodation for a person with a psychiatric disability in regards to housing;
- Emotion support animals can alleviate symptoms or effect of severe emotional conditions, such as chronic anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic attacks, fear or phobias, and other emotional and psychological conditions; and
- The United States of America currently has legislation for emotional support animals in their Fair Housing Act (FHC).
We, the undersigned, citizens (or residents) of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to legalize and legislate emotional support animals for Canadian citizens with psychiatric disabilities so that they may live with their emotional support animal in rental housing and be free from discrimination, pet fees, deposits, or monthly charges.
