Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 I am pleased to present a petition which has been signed by 48 Canadians.
Part of their request is that the government not overburden Canadians with higher taxation. I believe this was signed prior to the budget and it may not be relevant because taxes did increase. However, there is a portion which is relevant, which states that the petitioners pray and request that Parliament reduce government spending instead of increasing taxes and implement a taxpayer protection act to limit federal spending.
