Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by several hundred residents of Quebec, which reads as follows: "Your petitioners request that Parliament take the necessary measures to guarantee that their properties and territories will remain within the Canadian Confederation, and make its intention to do so known to the PQ government prior to any unilateral declaration of independence and/or the next referendum on separation".
Mr. Speaker, I have a second petition signed by 99 people which reads: "We pray the Prime Minister and the Parliament of Canada declare and confirm immediately that Canada is indivisible, that the boundaries of Canada, its provinces, territories and territorial waters may be modified only by (a) a free vote of all Canadian citizens as guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or (b) through the amending formula as stipulated in the Canadian Constitution".
