Mr. Speaker, it really is an honour to rise today in the House of Commons to introduce a petition on behalf of my constituents. The petitioners call upon the government to turn over the land on which the Queensway Carleton Hospital sits to the hospital for the rental price of $1.
The Liberal government and the Prime Minister have been threatening a major multimillion dollar rent increase on the hospital. We could put to rest these concerns by simply having the hospital charged $1 a year, which would free up dollars for patient care.
