Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I am pleased to present today 26 petitions containing over 6,500 signatures. Despite the fact that Bill C-68 has passed the House of Commons petitions keep coming into my office. The people who have signed these petitions are reluctant to give up home that the law will be amended or scrapped all together.
The petitioners believe the costs of the measures proposed within Bill C-68 have been severely understated and they feel the already strained resources of law enforcement agencies will be taxed beyond reasonable limits. They are therefore asking Parliament to carefully reconsider the problem of violence in Canadian society and enact legislation to deal with that problem without further burdening those of us as citizens.
