Join Anna Nienhuis as she introduces ARPA Canada's newest respectfully submitted policy report and why concerns about elder care should matter to Christians.

"Most Canadians still consider suicide a grave tragedy. With the passing of Bill C-14 in 2016 and the expansion of access proposed in Bill C-7, [the] government stands to abandon Canadians to despair." Bold and true words supported by over a dozen Members of Parliament. https://www.facebook.com//pcb.2893101487/2893100150920445/

"If [Bill C-6] passes unamended, it will send a chill over any parent, counsellor, or faith leader who lovingly cares for a child experiencing gender dysphoria with anything other than an affirmation of those feelings. This not only disrespects the role of parents but also has the potential for tragic and lifelong challenges for the children they desire to love and care for."

"This has been a year of realizing that what we thought was solid ground beneath our collective feet was in fact a cliff that would crumble away with just a bit of natural erosion or one sharp blow."

ARPA is pleased to release our newest Respectfully Submitted policy report on Elder Care! COVID has exposed cracks in our society's approach of honouring our father and mother. This report recommends greater family involvement in elder care, priority for home-based care, and the consideration of purpose and meaning when determining how to provide long-term care. We encourage you to give it a read! https://arpacanada.ca//Respectfully-Submitted-Elder-Care-W
