FACTS:
- Global overpopulation is causing a mass extinction of wildlife, a threat to our water supplies, devastating deforestation, and great human suffering.
*- Our natural resources are being plundered at an alarming rate, and family planning programs are inadequate to achieve a sustainable population level.
- All countries need a population policy as mandated by the United Nations in 1994.
ASSERTION: We, the undersigned believe that:
- Canada's foreign aid programs should make a full range of safe, affordable family planning services a priority.
- Canada should develop a population policy based on a comprehensive carrying capacity study and a meaningful public consultation process.
