Special Notice: This week our director, Faytene Grasseschi, will be on the ground in Ottawa for some strategic meetings at Parliament and to film interviews with Members of Parliament on the prostitution and life issue. Thank you so much to our generous supporters who help make strategic trips like this possible.

ProstitutionUpdate

Thank you to those of you who faithfully participated in the Government's on-line consultation regarding the forthcoming prostitution legislation.

As the national discussion continues we become more and more convinced that Joy Smith's recommendation that the government adopt a "Canadian version" of the Nordic Model is the best way for Canada to go. This model focuses on criminalizing those who access prostitution services (Johns) as opposed to targeting the women (who are often victims of exploitation / trafficking). Many nations across Europe are beginning to see the Nordic Model as the new standard.

This past Thursday our leadership was a part of a strategy call where contacts at Parliament suggested that the government could announce their legislative direction as early as June. This means that we must continue to make our voices heard in this window of time where our leaders are deciding which way Canada will go on this important moral issue.

What We Can Still Do:

There are a few things that each of us can do to help encourage our government to adopt the Nordic Model of combatting prostitution.

AssistedSuicideFletcherweb

This past week former cabinet minister Stephen Fletcher introduced 2 bills on assisted suicide to the House of Commons. This topic has become a very personal and emotional one to many as the Canadian population ages. Over the last few years the issue has come up both in the House of Commons (through a bill tabled by the the Bloc) and through Quebec's Bill 52.

After research, specifically regarding how euthanasia has affected European nations and opened a pandora's box of death, we at MY Canada are opposed to these bills.

The good news is that in the past the Conservative Party has said that they are not in support of any legislation that would legalize assisted suicide, or euthanasia. Let's encourage them to stick to that stance and oppose these bills if, or when, they come to a vote. Thank you so much.

What We Can Do:

We will keep you posted as to the progress of these bills. In the mean time the person to contact regarding this is the Prime Minister, the Minister of Justice and your personal MP.


Please E-mail the Prime Minister, Minister of Justice and Your Personal MP and Ask Them to Oppose These Bills:

By E-mail: peter.mackay@parl.gc.ca
CC the Prime Minister: pm@pm.gc.ca, stephen.harper@parl.gc.ca

Pray:

Please join us in keeping this important issue in prayer at this time.
