Bill C-224 Is Not Dead. We Need You To Act Now More Than Ever.
The fight continues. Liberal members of the Health Committee deleted every clause of Bill C-224, but that does not end the bill. It returns to the full House of Commons at report stage, where MP Blaine Calkins can move to reinsert the clauses the committee removed.
This is how the process works: After a committee reports a bill, the House of Commons gets its own chance to review and amend it. Members can propose motions to restore deleted clauses. Calkins has prepared those motions. If a majority of the House votes to restore the original text, the substance of the bill returns. Your earlier letters, briefs, and calls helped keep this bill alive long enough to reach this stage. That work still matters.
NHPPA needs consistent action until December 3.
Why send just one letter when you can send one every day? Don’t simply make one call. Make several!
Here are the steps you can take right now:
- Send an Electronic Letter
- Print and mail physical letters
- Call and speak to your MP and MP’s staff
- Meet with your MP
- Post on Social Media
- Send a handwritten note to your Liberal MP
- Repeat!
And as a bonus: Tell people to tell people.
That sounds like a lot, but don’t worry—you’ve got a month, and NHPPA has set it up so you can do one action every day!
Repetition will equal real results. Every message, every call, and every follow-up helps turn earlier support into the concrete votes we need to restore the original Bill C-224.
Go to https://nhppa.org/last-chance-for-224/ every day.
Take one action.
Then come back tomorrow and take another. Share the page.
Keep the pressure on until the votes are cast.
This is the moment. Let’s do this.
