Canada’s Parliament has had a motion before the House of Commons – placed on notice November 27, 2024 (meaning the motion is there but has not been passed). This is a private members bill – which places the motion as less of a priority and more of a stance (at least from my perspective). Below is the motion text:
M-171 Canadian Christian Month
Jean Yip – Liberal = Scarborough—Agincourt, Ontario
Motion Text
That:
(a) the House recognize that,
(i) the month of December is significant in the Christian calendar as it marks the beginning of advent and Christmas,
(ii) there are 19.3 million Canadians identifying as Christian,
(iii) Christianity in Canada is an example of our diversity, as Canada is home to more than 340 Christian denominations; and
(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should designate the month of December, every year, as Canadian Christian Month.
