Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present two petitions today on behalf of the residents of Prince George—Peace River.
The first petition deals with concerns about the old Bill C-41, the federal child support guidelines. In it the petitioners note that this act severely restricts a non-custodial parent's ability to meet the responsibilities as a parent.
They call upon parliament to amend the new federal child support guidelines to address their concerns. They ask that provisions contained in the old Bill C-41 be repealed and replaced by an act that is more fair, equitable and sensible to parents and children.
