Mr. Speaker, I wish to present a petition signed by a number of my constituents.
The petitioners would like to remind the House of the national highway policy study which identified job creation, economic development, national unity, saving lives, avoiding injuries, lower congestion, lower vehicle operation and better international competitiveness as benefits resulting from the proposed national highway program.
The petitioners urge the federal government to join with the provincial governments to make the national highway system upgrading possible.
