The second petition, Mr. Speaker, is on the matter of public safety officers.
The petitioners would like to draw the attention of the House that police officers and firefighters are required to place their lives at risk on a daily basis as they execute their duties and that when one of them loses their life in the line of duty we all mourn that loss.
The petitioners therefore call upon parliament to establish a public safety officers compensation fund for the benefit of families of public safety officers who are killed in the line of duty.
