Dioceses tell Catholics not to sign Canada Summer Jobs attestation

Archbishop Prendergast says the Canada Summer Jobs Program attestation denies religious freedom and punishes employers who “cannot, in good conscience, agree,” by denying access to $125 million in funds to support 70,000 summer jobs for students.

OTTAWA – Catholic dioceses are recommending employers not sign the required pro-abortion attestation in applying for a Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) grant.
