Mr. Speaker, the people in my riding of Prince George—Bulkley Valley are very concerned about the lack of attention the government has been paying to the national highway system, in particular Highway 16, the Yellowhead highway system.
The petitioners urge the government to designate a portion of the fuel taxes that it collects on an ongoing basis to improve and maintain highways.
The petitioners call on parliament to prioritize highway maintenance funding from the revenue which the government receives from fuel taxes.
There are several hundred signatures which I am pleased to present on behalf of concerned citizens of Prince George—Bulkley Valley.
