The Speaker begins every day's sitting of the House of Commons by reading a prayer to "Almighty God."

This overtly religious and Christian tradition undermines the state's duty of neutrality by endorsing belief over nonbelief. It's time for a change.

The House Procedures Committee could soon debate changing the Standing Orders to end the practice.

Email the committee and ask them to stop the prayers

It's time our Parliament is truly inclusive of the diversity of beliefs and non-belief in Canada.

Humanist Canada endorses this petition and calls on all Humanist organizations to do the same.
