Mr. Speaker, I would like to table a petition in this House on behalf of more than 260 petitioners from my riding and elsewhere in Quebec.
This is such an important petition that I must read you the preamble. "We ask that the other House, whose members are not elected nor held accountable for their actions and whose operating budget totals $43 million, the other House that will not account to this House for the use of its appropriations, fails to fulfil its regional representation mandate and duplicates the work done by the members of this House, be abolished".
This petition is signed by 260 people in my riding.
