Madam Speaker, it is an honour to rise, pursuant to Standing Order 36, to present a petition on behalf of a number of constituents from Kamloops who are concerned that our international trade agreements limit the ability of the House of Commons or provincial legislatures to pass legislation to protect the health of Canadian citizens. The petitioners ask the House of Commons to consider examining these international agreements to ensure they do not limit the ability of members of parliament to take decisions on behalf of their constituents.
In the House of Commons on March 17th, 1999. See this statement in context.
