Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I am pleased to present a petition signed by residents of York North.
The petitioners draw to the attention of the House that Canadians of all ages view our health care system as a defining element of Canadian society.
The petitioners further draw to the attention of the House that the red book, "Creating Opportunity" states that a Liberal government will not accept attempts to gut the medicare system.
The petitioners therefore call on Parliament to continue to uphold the fundamental principles of the Canada Health Act so that public health care remains accessible, comprehensive, portable, universal and publicly administered.
