My final petition, Mr. Speaker, is one which relates to the issue of the conversion of military jobs and facilities to civilian use. It is signed by a number of British Columbia residents and calls upon Parliament to use 1 per cent or more of the savings produced by the reduction in the Department of National Defence budget for the establishment of a national conversion resource centre and local conversion committees at each Canadian defence facility.
In the House of Commons on February 8th, 1995. See this statement in context.
