Is ourcommons.ca an official House of Commons website? It says so but how do I verify before I submit the petition with my information?

it really should be .gc.ca for us to be sure.

Here's a chain of trust you can follow:

https://parl.gc.ca -> https://parl.ca

https://www.parl.ca/Committees/en/LANG/Contact?parl=37&sessi... -> ourcommons.ca

It is yes - in situations like that, your best bet is to view the SSL cert details. Of course, only if you trust the issuer. ;)
Yeah, this is so bad - I struggled with this as well, why did they make it hard?
