Mr. Speaker, these petitioners want the Government of Canada to refuse to accept the amendment to the Constitution being proposed by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. They believe it is changing the rights of minorities without their consent. They feel that if an amendment is needed it should be brought forward as one that has the support of all of the key stakeholders.
They propose the changes should be tried to the educational system and then and only then if an amendment is required in order to make them go forward that should happen. They also point out there could be an impact in other sectors.
