Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present a petition signed by more than 500 of my constituents calling on Parliament to strike a joint parliamentary committee whose specific mandate would be to examine the ability of Canadian parliamentarians to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor in the new context created by market globalization and to propose concrete solutions.
This petition stems from the initiative undertaken by the member for Lac-Saint-Jean and strongly supported by all those who want to see a narrowing of the gap between the rich and the poor in our society.
