Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise to present six petitions from the province of British Columbia.
The first petition deals with the issue of Canada's social programs. The petitioners say that along with other Canadians they have certain basic rights and that deep cuts to social programs will hurt all Canadians and will have a profoundly negative impact on the four million adults and children living below the poverty line.
The petitioners therefore request that Parliament maintain and enhance Canada's social programs.
