Petitions
A petition is a great way to make your views known to the government of Canada. Any Canadian can start a petition, but there is a procedure that must be followed. Generally, the process is as follows:
- Come up with an idea for a petition
- Review the House of Commons rules for a petition
- Submit your draft petition (without signatures) to our office for review
- Collect signatures
- Submit the petition
For a petition to be accepted, it must be worded correctly, relate to an issue under the authority of the federal government, and contain at least 25 signatures.
