Mr. Speaker, it my honour, pleasure and privilege to stand in the House today pursuant to Standing Order 36 to present a petition on behalf of many Canadians who are very concerned about the export of water to the United States from Canada.
They are also very concerned about the multilateral agreement on investment which the Liberals, and in particular the chief Liberal Don Johnston in Paris, are pushing under the instructions of the Prime Minister and the Government of Canada to continue to make sure that corporations have more and more power and authority over our economy without any independence from any country with respect to making their own decisions.
These citizens are from many locations across the country. They are concerned the MAI will make it very easy for corporations to take all of our fresh water and send it south so that the Canadian population will be at the mercy of the Americans and the large corporations.
I join with these individuals in presenting the petition on their behalf.
