I have a petition entitled “Vulnerable Persons Alert.
“To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
“Whereas there is a gap in our current emergency alert system that needs to be addressed;
“Whereas a vulnerable persons alert would help ensure the safety of our loved ones in a situation where time is critical;
“Whereas several municipal councils, including, Brighton, Midland, Bonfield township, Cobourg and Mississauga and several others, have passed resolutions calling for a new emergency alert to protect our loved ones;
“Whereas over 90,000 people have signed an online petition calling for a ‘Draven Alert’ and over 6,000 people have signed an online petition calling for ‘Love’s Law’, for vulnerable people who go missing;
“Whereas this new alert would be an additional tool in the tool box for police forces to use to locate missing, vulnerable people locally and regionally;
“Whereas this bill is a common-sense proposal and non-partisan in nature, to help missing vulnerable persons find their way safely home;
“We, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:
“Support and pass Bill 74, Missing Persons Amendment Act, 2023.”
I wholeheartedly support this petition. I will affix my name to it and give it to Ellen to bring to the Clerk.
