Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present two petitions on behalf of my constituents pursuant to Standing Order 36. The petition is signed by hundreds of my constituents of Kent, bringing the total over the last few months to over 10,000 names.
The petitioners urge the government to support a domestic ethanol industry in light of the fact that a $170 million plant for Chatham is in jeopardy without federal involvement. Legislative support of ethanol is Liberal policy. The petitioners want it to become government policy.
