Mr. Speaker, I have hundreds of petitions to present on behalf of my constituents. The petitioners want to draw the following to the attention of the House: That the visa requirement between Canada and Poland is becoming a barrier in furthering economic and social development between the two countries; that the visa requirement hinders potential growth in business for about 500,000 Canadians of Polish origin living in Canada; and that there would be vast improvement in economic, political and social relations between Canada and Poland if legislative measures were taken.
Therefore, the petitioners ask that parliament take action in the near future to eliminate the visa requirement between Canada and Poland.
