On October 20th, Catherine Fife introduced the first petition calling for the government of Ontario to introduce Missing Persons legislation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad5iDPofaj0

Currently Ontario does not have missing persons legislation which means that police are often unable to conduct thorough investigations upon receipt of a missing person report where criminal activity is not considered the cause. Currently police can not use things such as cell phone records and credit card/bank account statements or access email and social media account to track the activity of missing persons.

The current petition asks that the Attorney General’s Office work with the office of the Privacy Commissioner to implement Missing Person’s Legislation that grants investigators the opportunity to apply for permissions to access information that will assist in determining the safety or whereabouts of missing persons for whom criminal activity is not considered the cause.

This is a matter that hits close to home with the family of missing 16 year old Meagan Pilon from Greater Sudbury and many other families across the province struggle to find answers about missing loved ones. Meagan's family is circulating this petition and collecting signatures to mail to Queens Park. You can also print out a copies of this petition, get signatures and mail to the QUEENS PARK address listed at the bottom of the petition or sighed petitions can be dropped of at local MPP's offices and they will deliver to Cathetine Fife's office in Toronto.
