Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present a petition on behalf of constituents from Surrey North.
The petition concerns the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal to ship U.S. thermal coal through B.C. communities.
Many members of my community are concerned about health risks to the children and the communities in Surrey North, and along the corridor for shipping the coal.
The petitioners are calling on the government to do a health impact assessment before this project goes ahead. I would ask the government to respond to the petition.
