Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to table a first petition signed by 852 residents of the riding of Châteauguay, which I have the honour to represent. These petitioners from 28 organizations object to the use of voice mail in serving seniors. This much criticized technolohy is definitely not suited to seniors.
Indeed, seniors are entitled to proper service, especially when they have inquiries to make about income security. I agree with them and together, we call upon Parliament to kindly ask the government to abandon the plan to implement voice mail for seniors.
