Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to present a petition under Standing Order 36 on behalf of the member of Parliament for Kent. His constituents petition in regard to the building of an ethanol plant in his riding which will create 1,100 person-years of work.
They petition the government to maintain the present exemption on the excise portion of ethanol for a decade. This would allow for a strong and self-sufficient ethanol industry to develop in Canada.
On his behalf I present this to the House.
