Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a petition that was signed by 54 residents of central Alberta.
The petitioners state that in their opinion 38 percent of Canada's national highways are in substandard condition, that the United States and Mexico are engaged in the repair of their national highway systems and Canada should do likewise for the obvious benefits of job creation, lower congestion and better traffic flow.
They therefore call on Parliament to urge the federal government to join with the provincial governments to make a national highway system upgrade possible.
