Mr. Speaker, it is my great privilege to present a petition from my constituents reaffirming the importance of a united Canada.
This petition is signed and supported by French as well as English speaking Canadians, by aboriginal Canadians and by those Canadians who have come from other countries.
It is an honour for me to represent these cultures as they come together to voice their desire to keep Canada united and to keep Quebec in Canada.
Clearly, a vast majority of Canadians want a strong, united Canada, as do a large number of French Canadians and other francophones in Canada.
