Mr. Speaker, I have about 1,300 more names on a petition to add to the several thousand that have already been presented from my riding.
These petitioners draw to the attention of the House of Commons that sections 41 and 42 of the Constitution Act, 1982 provide that an amendment to the Constitution of Canada in relation to certain matters may be initiated by a resolution of the House of Commons.
The petitioners therefore call upon the House to urge the government to abolish the Senate.
