Petition to Rescind the two-year time limit on welfare benefits

Petition letter protesting the proposed measure (for April, 2004) by the BC provincial government to deny or reduce welfare, regardless of need, for people who have been on social assistance for more than two years out of five. The letter states that denying social assistance to those in need violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and international conventions. The undersigned demand that the House rescind the upcoming law.
