e-3236 (Civil and human rights)

Petition to the Government of Canada

• Section 6 of the Charter of Rights and Freedom says Canadians have the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada;
• Section 2a of the Charter of Rights and Freedom says Canadians have freedom of conscience and religion;
• Section 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedom says Canadians are not allowed to be discriminated against based on, for example, mental or physical ability (health);
• COVID-19 passports are being spoken of as the way to revive the travel industry but they stand to put the final nail in the coffin of the travel industry;
• Canadians have the right to informed choice when it comes to vaccines and other medical treatments, they cannot be forced or coerced;
• COVID-19 passports could be used to restrict the rights of people who have refused a COVID-19 vaccine, which would be unacceptable and create a society of have and have-nots, and the gap between those groups has only grown thanks to COVID-19, and we stand at the precipice of the gap getting larger still;
• This is not a partisan issue, it affects Canadians of all stripes and for various personal reasons, and therefore should not be treated as such; and
• Canadians want their freedom of movement and right to privacy of their personal health data to be positively affirmed by the government.
