Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition from many residents of my constituency and other citizens of Winnipeg. They are very concerned about the millennium round of World Trade Organization talks and the Liberal government's willingness to participate in a process giving foreign companies the right to deliver health care, education and transportation services.
The petitioners offer to the government recommendations for taking into account any future negotiations and talks. They include binding and enforceable rules to protect human rights, labour standards, cultural diversity and environment, a carve out of health care, education and culture, a more open and inclusive model for the WTO and an alternative model of globalization that ensures the ability of governments to act in the public interest.
