Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 it is with great pleasure that I rise today to present a petition signed by 1,025 people from such places as Minden, Haliburton, Eagle Lake, Wilberforce and Bobcaygeon in the riding of Victoria-Haliburton.
It draws the attention of the House of Commons to gun control. It asks Parliament not to pass into law any of the government action plans for firearms control which deal with the registration and prohibition of firearms and to find other and better means to reduce the incidence of violent crime in Canada.
