From Mennonite Central Committee:
Bill C-262 is “a private member’s bill that will ensure that the laws of Canada are in harmony with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.”
“As people of faith we are committed to addressing the legacy of harm done to Indigenous Peoples by churches and governments, and to forging right relationships. Bill C-262 will be an excellent step toward ensuring the rights of Indigenous Peoples are respected and honoured in Canada.
This Thursday, May 16, 2019, the Senate will vote on sending this bill to committee. Please send a letter to all Senators to urge them to be in the Red Chamber on Thursday to vote in favour of this important and time-sensitive step.“
