Mr. Speaker, I rise to present another petition. This petition has been signed by constituents of mine and of another member.
These petitioners are opposed to profiteering at the expense of the victims of violent crime. I too stand on the side of the victims.
These petitioners want tougher measures taken against those who perpetrate violent crimes against women, children and the disabled, in short, the weakest and most vulnerable in our society.
As this is International Women's Week it is imperative we as legislators stand in unison regardless of political affiliation against those elements in our society which condone violent crime by profiting from the sale of killer cards. Such inducements to violence must be controlled and eliminated.
