Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition on behalf of 93 Canadians.
The petitioners request that Parliament amend the Divorce Act to include a provision similar to article 611 of the Quebec Civil Code. It states that in no case may the father or mother without serious cause place obstacles between the child and the grandparents and that failing agreement between the parties the modalities of the relations are settled by the court.
They also request an amendment to the Divorce Act that would give a grandparent who is granted access to a child the right to make inquiries and to be given information as to the health, education and welfare of the child.
I am pleased to state that I am happy to endorse the contents of this petition.
