PETITION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA

We, the undersigned residents of Canada draw the attention of the Government to the following:

Whereas, the most honourable citizens of our Country -- our Veterans -- deserve unconditional respect, unending gratitude and support for the services they provided to our country; and

Whereas, the Royal Canadian Legion is a key source of support to our Veterans and acquire the bulk of their financial assistance through the Annual Poppy Campaign, and, are currently being charged GST on its supply purchases of poppies and poppy wreaths; and

Whereas, private members' Bill C-480 has been introduced to Parliament to amend the Exise Tax Act and exempt supply purchases of poppies and poppy wreaths from the GST, thus enabling those funds to be used for our Vets;

We, as residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to expeditiously support this Bill and have it passed into Law.
