I'm drafting a petition to the Parliament of Canada and am seeking advice on how to improve its wording. At present, I have it written as follows with the parts in bold remaining unchangeable:

Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament Assembled

Whereas:
• The membership itself of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism had been chosen explicitly for its ethnic composition;
• The Report of the Commission revealed undeniable ethnic, linguistic, and religious prejudices in its ethnologically-reasoned recommendations that have since influenced many Canadian laws and even the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to this day; and
• The constitutional policies that have since sprung from that Report have given Canada four out of ten Canadian adults with literacy skills too low to be fully competent in most jobs in our modern economy; a self-assessed rate of bilingualism in the official languages of only around 17.5%; a wage gap between official language communities on the one hand and Deaf, indigenous, and other unofficial language communities on the other; and tensions revolving around the Catholic and Protestant separate-school systems' violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights;

We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to establish a Royal Commission on Language and Religion to:
1. recommend revisions to the religious provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms so as to conform it to the standards of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; and
2. Explore how Canada could exploit the ease-of-learning and grammatical precision of an international auxiliary language in second-language teaching, and as a pivot in multilingual translation, so as to promote more just and fraternal relations between Canada’s official and Deaf, indigenous, and other unofficial linguistic communities.
