Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to present two petitions today. The first petition gives the opportunity for this House to give meaning to the government's words of working in partnership with aboriginal people. This is a petition for a public inquiry of Ipperwash.
Whereas many questions concerning the events preceding, during and after the fatal shooting of Anthony Dudley George on September 6, 1995 at Ipperwash provincial park, where over 200 armed officers were sent to control 25 unarmed men and women, have not been answered, and whereas the Constitution of Canada requires that Canada protect Indians and Indian lands, the undersigned petition the House of Commons that a full public inquiry be held into the events surrounding the fatal shooting of Dudley George on September 6, 1995 to eliminate all misconceptions held by and about governments, the OPP and the Stony Point people.
I take pleasure in submitting this on behalf of the signatories whose names cover eight pages.
