Mr. Speaker, I wish to table a petition from leasees of Indian Point subdivision on Adams Lake in my riding.
Most of these people are senior citizens who retired to homes on land they are leasing from the Adams Lake Indian Band. They are listing many grievances against the crown, including having to surrender their homes without compensation when their current lease ends in the year 2010.
The petitioners pray that the House of Commons will urge the federal government to compensate them. I strongly urge this government to grant their request.
