Mr. Speaker, I have four petitions to present to the House today.
The first petition is from a group within my constituency. It contains 25 signatures, mostly from residents of the Colony Farm facility. The petitioners call upon Parliament to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to protect individuals from discrimination based on sexual orientation.
In contrast to that, I have three more petitions, one with 2,200 signatures, one with 225 signatures and one with 400 signatures from Canadians across the country.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to oppose any amendments to the Canadian Human Rights Act or the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which provide for the inclusion of the phrase sexual orientation. I certainly concur with this petition.
