Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to table a petition from my constituents. The 567 signatures on this petition are in addition to the 30,000 ones from other ridings.
The petitioners ask for the abolition of the non-elected Senate and state that this spending of $40 million is unjustifiable, given the cuts affecting UI benefits, the lack of an employment policy and the cuts to seniors' benefits.
People in my riding say no to the Senate, because it costs too much.
