We are 6000 signatures away from our goal of 50,000! Let’s remind all Members of Parliament that we are essential. Please take a couple of minutes to send your representative a message that it’s time to end this discriminatory tax. You can find your MP’s email, address, and social media contacts here: http://bit.ly/17HA8l7 (type your postal code into the search tool on the top right to quickly find your MP). Here is an example of an email you could send: “Dear Member of Parliament, Women and menstruators in Canada are being subjected to an unfair and discriminatory tax — just because they get their periods. I am joining Canadian voters across this country calling to remove the 5% government sales tax on menstrual hygiene products. Taxing reproductive roles is a disgrace. The removal of this tax would be of value to all households in Canada and especially to those with a lower income. Please support Bill C-282, An Act to amend the Excise Tax Act (feminine hygiene products). Let’s work together to remove this stain from our legislation.” Thank you for taking the time to tell the government about this important issue. - The Canadian Menstruator team P.S. Remember — we can only table a hard copy of the petition in the House of Commons. So please print, sign, and send in the petition either in English: http://bit.ly/16b2OCe or in French: http://bit.ly/1ztQxPq
