Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions on different issues.
Pursuant to Standing Order 36, I have the honour to present to parliament a petition signed by 28 Canadians. Many young men and women between the ages of 17 and 21 continue to benefit from the enormously worthwhile, uniquely Canadian youth program called Katimavik. The participants come from all regions of Canada and share a remarkable sense of friendship.
The Katimavik program is in need of increased funding as well as an enhanced media profile if it is to continue its good work. Therefore the petitioners pray and request that parliament entrusts the government to greatly increase the current level of support for Canada's very own homegrown Katimavik program.
