Chilliwack-Hope MP Mark Strahl is asking people to sign an e-petition on the Government of Canada’s website, calling for the expansion of Canada’s Amber Alert system to include adults who go missing under suspicious circumstances.
The petition, which went live on Jan. 23, comes two months after he introduced private member’s motion M-89 which “calls on the government to work with the provinces and territories to expand protections for victims of crime over the age of 18 by amending the criteria for the activation of an Amber Alert for missing persons,” Strahl stated in a press release.
