Madam Speaker, the second petition I present on behalf of the British Columbia Automobile Association and it contains 106 signatures. The petitioners ask that the federal government start to invest money in our road infrastructure. They state that the condition of our roads contributes to thousands of lost lives and injuries every year right across this country, and that putting more money into our roads would improve trade opportunities, job creation and tourism.
In the House of Commons on June 5th, 2000. See this statement in context.
