Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure of tabling in this House a petition bearing the signatures of 155 people from the riding of Drummond.
This petition reads as follows: “We, the undersigned, residents of the Province of Quebec, call the following to the attention of the House:
“Whereas the elimination of taxes on sports millionaires is of considerable concern to us; whereas our representatives in the House of Commons have both the responsibility and the duty to pass legislation that will maintain fiscal balance among all Canadians and ensure, first and foremost, a basic income to the most disadvantaged;
“Therefore, we present to parliament a petition entitled `No to the abolition of taxes on sports millionaires' and request that members of parliament pass the measures needed to ensure greater fairness in Canada for taxpayers.”
