Dear colleagues,

I trust this finds you well and happily/busily engaged in the new academic year!

See attached a self-explanatory open letter to PM Trudeau. It has over 100 signatories including many notables - including a few members of our network (Hooray!). There are scores of Profs from 19 Universities across Canada. We'd like to get over 20 Universities indicated :) and especially to include Human Rights Centres!

Might you sign-on (either in your personal capacity or for your Centre)?

Grateful for your consideration.

Sorry for the very short notice, but we need a response by Monday morning at 10am Ottawa-time because there will be a Press Conference at Parliament on Monday afternoon.

If you are willing to sign-on, please indicate your preferred title.

Thanks and Cheers! John
