Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I am pleased to present to this House three petitions signed by the residents of York North which speak to the rights of Canadians.
The first petition is about the Helms-Burton law. The petitioners draw to the attention of the House that the Cuban liberty and democratic solidarity act attempts to impose American domestic policy on other sovereign states and therefore violates international law.
The petitioners further draw to the attention of the House that Canadian interests, rights and businesses must be defended with strength and vigour.
The petitioners therefore call on Parliament to pursue all avenues available to ensure the rights of Canadians are protected.
