Petition to the House of Commons

[searun]

Here's the link to the parliamentary procedures regarding petitions​

Guidelines for Petitions - Public Petitions - House of Commons Procedure and Practice, Third edition, 2017 - ProceduralInfo - House of Commons of Canada

Here's section specifically addressing how many electronic petition signatures are required to validate and certify a petition. Once a petition has over 500 signatures it allows the sponsoring MP to present the petition to the House of Commons - so an effective way to at the very least have the sitting government, and presumably responsible Minister hear and understand issues being petitioned.

Signatures​

For certification, the threshold for valid signatures is 25 for paper petitions and 500 for electronic petitions. To be valid, the signature must be that of a Canadian citizen or a resident of Canada.42 There is no minimum age requirement for anyone signing a petition, and one person cannot sign for a group.

We need every MP in every area in BC to support this and make petitions. They just need to focus on the factual data in these petitions.
