Mr. Speaker, I must say I am particularly upset with the point raised in the last petition myself, on a personal basis. However, I do not want to associate myself with the member's previous petition.
It is an honour to present a petition, pursuant to Standing Order 36, from a number of constituents who are aware of discussions presently ongoing with the Government of Canada and a number of provincial governments about the possible transferring of federal responsibility for urban native housing.
Consequently, the petitioners have a number of reasons for opposing this, which are pretty self-evident to most people. They are asking the Government of Canada not to proceed with the proposal to download the urban native housing program to the provinces.
