Mr. Speaker, I have yet another petition from concerned residents of the province of Nova Scotia.
They note that in June 1996 the Prime Minister of Canada announced that he would work toward diverting the Sable Island gas pipeline to Quebec City. They further state it is unacceptable for the Prime Minister to decide the destination of Nova Scotia natural gas without consulting Nova Scotians, and that Nova Scotians assert their right to control the destination of Sable Island gas and demand the federal government cease tampering in this issue.
