We, the undersigned, support the passing of Senator Larry Campbell's bill S-238: An Act Respecting Canadian Professional Football (http://www.larrycampbell.ca/articles/S-238_1.pdf).

As fans and other stakeholders of the Canadian Football League (CFL), we are concerned about the social and economic consequences of the expansion of foreign football leagues into Canada. We recognize the rich history and tradition of the CFL and are invested in ensuring the league's long-term sustainability. We feel the provisions outlined in Senator Campbell's proposed act support the sustainability of the CFL. By signing this petition, we are stating our endorsement of bill S-238.

    • Thank you Senator Campbell. This is the CANADIAN football league, and it is rich in tradition. It bonds our country from coast to coast every year. Let's keep it that way.

    • The CFL is far too important to this country to put it under this sort of risk when the only benefit is to such a small percentage of the population. I'm thrilled that this issue is being discussed by our lawmakers.
