Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 I have the honour to present to parliament a petition signed by 26 concerned Canadians.
The use of the additive MMT in Canadian gasoline presents an environmental problem. It affects every man, woman and child in Canada. The use of MMT in gasoline has been known to cause emission control devices to affect engine performance and cause high levels of dangerous smog. Therefore the petitioners call upon parliament to set by the end of this calendar year national clean fuel standards for gasoline with zero MMT and low sulphur content.
