Mr. Speaker, I am tabling today a petition signed by more than 12,000 people, the majority of whom-over 10,000-live in my riding, who are calling for the abolition of the Senate.
This is their response to members of the Liberal majority, who voted against the motion this week, and to Reform members, who have just made us waste an hour on an issue on which Canadian taxpayers' money is continuously being wasted. The people's answer is the 12,000 signatures I am tabling today.
