Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I have the privilege of presenting a petition on behalf of a number of my constituents from Stormont-Dundas and over 15,000 Canadians from coast to coast who signed a unity scroll that originated with Mr. Norm Lalonde of Cornwall and several volunteers who have contributed many hours of their time to ask Canadians to sign this unity scroll.
These petitioners draw to the attention of the House their belief that all Canadians want the same from life in Canada and that Canadians want the opportunity to prosper, to grow and to preserve the rich heritage and cultures that built our great nation regardless of where we live in this vast country.
To begin this process they invite Canadians, particularly those who reside in Quebec, to stay within the Canadian family and join all Canadians in taking Canada to a united, stronger and greater future.
Therefore the petitioners call on Parliament to unite and continue to build this great country.
