Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions today.
The first, certified pursuant to Standing Order 36, is signed by residents of Ontario and Saskatchewan, some from the town of Wilkie, Saskatchewan, North Battleford, Saskatchewan.
The petitioners note that Robert Latimer of Saskatchewan was sentenced to life in prison for second degree murder with no chance of parole for 10 years. The petitioners believe the law should be flexible and based on the individual. They believe that his sentence is unfair and out of proportion.
The petitioners request that Parliament grant Robert Latimer a pardon, conditionally or unconditionally, for his conviction of second degree murder in the death of his daughter.
