Mr. Speaker, it is my great honour today to table in this House a petition bearing 1,080 signatures from my riding.
This petition denounces the government's proposal with respect to voice mail boxes. I am pleased to join with these many petitioners in the conviction that services must be adapted to users and not to bureaucratic machinery.
Thus the people of Quebec City wish to draw the attention of Parliament to the following: Whereas senior citizens are naturally less experienced with the technology of voice mail; and whereas senior citizens are entitled to appropriate service, particularly in response to their income security inquiries, these petitioners call upon Parliament to ask the government to abandon its plan to install voice mail for senior citizens.
