Mr. Speaker, the second petition concerns the age of consent. It is one of a series of petitions I presented to parliament on this issue.
A further 142 petitioners from British Columbia call upon parliament to amend the Criminal Code of Canada to raise the age of consent for sexual activity between a young person and an adult from 14 to 16 years of age.
They list the reasons. They are very good reasons, and I am pleased to present the petition on their behalf.
