Dear friends,
After stepping down from my position as Leader of the Official Opposition and Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, I have kept a low profile and refrained from speaking out on public issues. However, the importance of our democratic rights and freedoms has compelled me to break my silence.
I am writing to express my support for the National Citizen's Inquiry (NCI) into the federal and provincial governments' COVID-19 policies. The NCI is a citizen-led and citizen-funded initiative that aims to provide a comprehensive, transparent, and objective assessment of the appropriateness and efficacy of these policies.
As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the lives of Canadians. The interventions into our lives, families, businesses, and communities have had significant effects on our physical and mental health, civil liberties and fundamental freedoms, jobs and livelihoods, and overall social and economic well-being.
It is important that we have a fair and impartial inquiry into the responses and actions of our governments to the COVID-19 pandemic. The NCI provides an independent and citizen-led platform for Canadians to voice their experiences and opinions on this matter.
The NCI's purpose is to listen, to learn, and to recommend. It seeks to investigate what went right and what went wrong in our government's COVID-19 policies. Moreover, the NCI aims to provide recommendations on how we can better react to national crises in the future in a manner that balances the interests of all members of our society.
I urge all Canadians to participate in this important initiative and share their experiences and opinions with the NCI. Your input will help shape the recommendations that will be provided to our governments to ensure that we are better prepared for future crises.
Thank you for your attention and support.
Sincerely,
Ches Crosbie
