Take a Stand

Here is your chance to take a stand. Write to the PMO, your MP, the opposition leaders and let them know how you feel about this. You can do it online at www.bringbackparliament.ca.

Dear Prime Minister,

I am writing to express my concern about your decision to shut down Parliament.

Some days I don't feel like working. If I decided simply not to show up, I'd lose my job. There's too much work to be done to allow for that kind of irresponsibility.

The same is true for our country. There are too many pressing issues to shut down Parliament for weeks: joblessness, climate change, the war.

MPs have important work to do on these and other issues. It's not right that they should be prevented from doing that work because you don't want to face the House of Commons.

I urge you to bring back Parliament on schedule.

Yours sincerely,
