Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to present a petition today signed by some 250 residents of southwestern Ontario, including my riding of London-Middlesex.
These petitioners call on the government to amend the National Energy Board Act in order to provide intervener funding in the matter of interprovincial pipelines. With these petitions I would note that the total number of petitioners in southwestern Ontario is now at 1,000 calling on the government to take this action.
