committed to ensuring the continuation of funding for the Court Challenges Program of Canada.
New organizations and individuals are signing onto our campaign every day.

 

Dear Friends of the Court Challenges Program

As you know by now the Court Challenges Program has been cancelled by the Conservative minority government. This is a blow to all those in Canada who believe in fairness, equality and language rights for French and English minorities. Please help us reverse this decision.

Below you will find links to a letter to the Prime Minister and several background documents regarding the Court Challenges Program.

A Steering Committee representative of both language rights and equality rights communities has prepared these materials and is asking that you do the following:

  • Inform CCD by noon of Monday, October 2nd if you or your organization are willing to be listed as either a supporting organization or individual on this letter, or both.

    Send your confirmations of support to april@ccdonline.ca along with your contact information.

    Your endorsement should indicate the full name (not simply an acronym) of the organization in both English and French if you choose, as well as the full spelling of your name and title if you wish it included.

  • Circulate this letter to others that have not received it and encourage their support. There will be follow up letters to the Prime Minister. We are seeking as many names as possible by Monday but do not stop seeking endorsements of the letter, there will be other opportunities for organizations and individuals to support this work.

  • Write your own letter as an individual or organization to the Prime Minister and forward a copy for our records to april@ccdonline.ca

  • Write your own Member of Parliament and send her or him a copy of the letter to the Prime Minister. We will circulate the final letter to the Prime Minister with endorsements to you on Monday afternoon.
