Mr. Speaker, I have four petitions to present.
The first petition I am pleased to present is one from a number of people in my constituency who signed a petition asking parliament to use budget 2000 to introduce a multi-year plan to improve the well-being of Canada's children.
They also request that parliament fulfil the 1989 commitment to end child poverty by the year 2000. I have had this petition on my desk since before Christmas and it is now past the year 2000 mark.
