PrintRefugees to Canada may soon no longer have access to greatly needed healthcare
On June 30, 2012, new federal legislation could remove access to health care for refugees to Canada. The estimated savings by the federal government after cutting funding to the Federal Interim Health Program for refugees is only 59 cents per Canadian.
Canadians can help give refugees a chance by mailing Prime Minister Stephen Harper 59 cents, the cost per Canadian to give refugees the health care they need.
The FiftyNine Cents campaign is asking all Canadians to place 59 cents in an envelope and send it to the Prime Minister's office to let him know that we will not stand for these cuts.
The mailing address for the Prime Minister is:
80 Wellington Street
Ottawa Ontario
K1A 0A2
In 2011, Canada was proudly a place of hope and healing to 25,000 refugees; this is a fact in which we can take pride and wish to take pride in for generations to come.
