Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to introduce a petition to Parliament. The petitioners are calling on Parliament to enact legislation against serious personal injury crimes being committed by high risk offenders in support of my colleague's Bill C-240.
It is a pleasure for me because an incident inspired the petition. There are 27 pages directly related to this. I suggested to the people in that community that one of the most effective ways of getting this on to the table was through a petition. This shows a very responsible attitude on the part of the people from Elkford.
