Mr. Speaker, I have a number of petitions containing hundreds of names, most of them people from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I might add that I have had many letters from these people and have also met with a good number of them.
These people are petitioning and calling on parliament to immediately rescind the so-called head tax on immigrants and refugees.
In the budget earlier this week the so-called head tax was rescinded for refugees. I have called my constituents to see if they wanted this matter to rest but they have insisted that the head tax also be rescinded for all immigrants.
I am pleased to present this petition on behalf of many people in Saskatoon.
