PETITION
TO THE HONOURABLE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY OF THE
PROVINCE OF NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED
The Petition of the
undersigned
HUMBLY SHEWETH
WHEREAS the decision of the Joe Batt’s Arm Council to accept
amalgamation without proper voting, is undemocratic in accordance with the laws
of our society and Canada;
WHEREAS the decision to amalgamate should be a fair, transparent
and proper process with due attention to the rights of all residents;
WHEREAS the meeting on amalgamation at the Joe Batt’s Arm town
hall in November was biased by parties moderating the meeting, therefore, the
meeting should be void;
Whereupon the undersigned, your Petitioners,
humbly pray and call upon the House of Assembly to
·
Officially suspend the decision to
amalgamate Fogo Island until the provincial government can carry out a
democratic vote on the issue of amalgamation for the residents of Fogo Island;
·
To ensure a full and transparent process is carried out to
eliminate any unfair processes and undue negativity towards it;
·
Officially recognize that all residents of Fogo Island should be
offered an opportunity to vote for against amalgamation, not just communities
voting independently.
And as in duty bound your Petitioners will ever
pray.
