    Joint Statement Calling for Sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong Officials and Protection for Hong Kongers at Risk of Political Persecution

    Joint statement calling for sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong officials and protection for Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution We, the undersigned, call upon the Government of Canada to take action in light of the mass arrests and assault on civil rights following the unilateral imposition of the new National Security Law in Hong Kong. Many in Hong Kong fear they will face the same fate as the student protestors in Tiananmen Square, defenders’ lawyers, and millions of interned Uyghurs, Tibetans, and faith groups whose rights of free expression and worship are denied. We urge the Government of Canada to offer a “Safe Harbour Program” with an expedited process to grant protection and permanent residency status to Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution under the National Security Law, including international students and expatriate workers who have been involved in protest actions in Canada. Furthermore, Canada must invoke the Sergei Magnitsky Law to sanction Chinese and Hong Kong officials who instituted the National Security Law, as well as other acts violating human rights; and to ban them and their immediate family members from Canada and freeze their Canadian assets. Canada needs to work closely with international allies with shared values to institute a strong policy toward China. It is time for Canada to take meaningful action to show leadership on the world stage.

    Vaccine Rollout in Canada

    January 12, 2021 Hon. Patty Hajdu Hon. Marc Miller Minister of Health Minister of Indigenous Services House of Commons House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Ministers Hajdu and Miller, We are writing to you on behalf of the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) and our membership of paediatric health experts across the country to urge you to accelerate the administration of COVID-19 vaccines across Canada. Along with our colleagues in family medicine, geriatrics, nursing, and countless other health professionals, we celebrated when Health Canada announced safe and effective vaccines were approved for use in Canada. But the rollout of the largest vaccination campaign in history has started off far too slow. Indigenous communities where COVID-19 infection can have disproportionate impact need vaccines now. Our frontline healthcare workers, who have been risking their lives to care for Canadians since the start of this pandemic, and Canada’s most vulnerable, especially our elders and those living in long-term care homes, cannot afford to continue waiting. There is another group of Canadians whose lives depend on widespread vaccine coverage—children and youth. Since the start of the pandemic, children and youth have been disproportionately affected by the public health measures designed to keep Canadians safe from COVID-19. We are especially concerned about the effects these restrictions have had on their mental health. It may be years before we fully understand the extent and magnitude of these effects, but here is what we know right now: Paediatricians, child and adolescent psychiatrists, and other health professionals are seeing more youth with mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and problematic substance use.
