TELL FEDERAL LEADERS:

Safeguard the Wellbeing of Young and Future Canadians

In the 2024 Budget, Canada bravely acknowledged a harsh reality: hard work isn’t paying off for younger Canadians the way it did for previous generations. The budget promised to restore "Fairness for Every Generation."

NOW WE NEED THEM TO FOLLOW THROUGH

We're calling on the federal government to enshrine this promise in legislation. An Act to Safeguard the Wellbeing of Present and Future Generations will ensure future budgets — and future governments — follow through on this commitment to be good ancestors. The Act will guide Canada towards a future where all generations can thrive and prosper.

WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

The freighter of government changes course slowly, but this Act will become a guiding star to keep it on course. The Act will:

  • Ensure that future governments consider the wellbeing of all generations when making budget decisions. 
  • Establish a minister, commissioner, and advisory body to work like tugboats that keep the government on course.
  • Shape policies to guarantee a healthy childhood, home, and planet for Canadians today and for generations to come.

By signing, you will help restore our country's promise to our kids and grandkids, our nieces and nephews, and future Canadians.

As a national organization, we recognize the importance of thinking deeply about our shared responsibility to reconciliation, acting in accordance with the inherent rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples across Canada. We also have much to learn from the rich traditions of intergenerational solidarity that Indigenous peoples have lived with for millennia. Our leadership team members are grateful to live and work on the ancestral, unceded territories of the q̓ic̓əy̓ məlstəyəxʷ (Katzie), xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), and Omámíwininíwag Anishinaabeg peoples.
