Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by 236 Canadians across Ontario.
The petitioners recognize the importance of mining in Canada and the problems caused by depleting oil reserves. They endorse the 10 point program of action put out by the Keep Mining in Canada campaign. They pray that Parliament take all the necessary measures and steps to increase employment in this sector, promote exploration, rebuild Canada's mineral reserves, sustain mining communities and keep mining in Canada. I concur with the petitioners fully.
