Madam Speaker, the last petition deals with immigration levels. It has 128 signatures from various parts of the country.
The petitioners pray and call upon Parliament to reduce immigration to the previous average level of one-half of 1 per cent of the population, or about 150,000 per year, with the basic intake of not less than 50 per cent of the total composed of carefully selected skilled workers required by the Canadian economy and to bring our refugee acceptance rate in line with the average of other asylum destination countries.
I heartily agree with all petitions.
