Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present today.
The first petition, signed by a number of my constituents, supports my private member's bill, Bill C-377, which would allow parliamentarians to apply for a secret security clearance. They call upon the House to swiftly pass my bill to allow parliamentarians the ability to apply for a secret security clearance.
Stéphane Lauzon Liberal Argenteuil—La Petite-Nation, QC
Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I would like to seek the unanimous consent of the House to change my vote on C‑377. I am voting against the bill.
