Madam Speaker, I would like tot table a petition signed by 162 residents of Quebec, and more specifically of my riding of bourassa, concerning the minimum age for admission to employment. In 1973, the International Labour Organization signed convention 138. Unfortunately, Canada never signed this convention, in spite of the fact that child labour, which affects approximately 200 million children around the work, is a real scourge.
These petitioners ask that Canada sign this convention and I support this petition.
