As of March 20, 2025, 11 MPs have endorsed this campaign. This includes Elizabeth May and Mike Morrice (Green Party), Alexandre Boulerice, Heather McPherson, Taylor Bachrach, Gord Johns, Peter Julian, Laurel Collins, Alistair MacGregor (NDP), Salma Zahid and Nathaniel Erskine-Smith (Liberal Party).
Along with endorsing the campaign, some MPs have provided additional statements about their support for Protecting Palestinian Children Now.
“Minister Joly recently announced that Canada “will not have any form of arms or parts of arms be sent to Gaza, period.” The Minister also stressed that how they’re sent or where they’re sent from is “irrelevant.” They will not be provided to be used in Gaza. I take the Minister at her word that we will not see component parts – which is what Canadian companies were providing as part of the American $83 million deal – being used in Gaza.
I believe that Canada and our allies should play a much more proactive role towards a ceasefire and ending the terrible violence in the region. Over 44 000 Palestinians have been killed, with the majority of whom are civilians and children…Canada should lead an effort to establish a UN effort or other multilateral coalition of countries to expand peacekeeping in the region. We have, as we once put it, a responsibility to protect.
There is terrible violence against children throughout the West Bank and Gaza, and it is integral that Canada leads the effort for a ceasefire, an end to the occupation, and the recognition of a Palestinian State.”
“Further to the PPCN campaign, I also endorse broader actions to protect Palestinian children and their families including ending Canadian involvement in illegal Israeli settlements, protecting and funding Gaza relief efforts including UNWRA, and recognizing the State of Palestine. I and my NDP caucus colleagues also support sanctions on Netanyahu and his cabinet members who have enabled genocide in Gaza, and we support all ICC and ICJ investigations into war crimes and genocide and would uphold ICC warrants.”
“The NDP has led the Parliamentary work on all five demands of this campaign, but we have more to add to this list. New Democrats also support sanctions on Netanyahu and his cabinet members who have enabled genocide in Gaza. We also support all ICC and ICJ investigations into war crimes and genocide and would uphold ICC warrants.“
“Our New Democrat caucus won’t stop asking the tough questions. We are demanding the government cancel testing of Israeli weapons in Canada. We are demanding the Canada Revenue Agency investigate Canadian charities that may support illegal settlements, which are an impediment to peace. We are asking why illegal settlement properties may have been sold in Canada. And we are working hard to find legislative solutions to the ongoing occupation.”
