Mr. Speaker, I have the honour today of presenting two petitions.
The first is signed by some one hundred people from Manitoba and the second by some fifty from New Brunswick.
The petitioners are calling for a stop to be put to the opening of private hospitals and the return of federal funding for health care, an immediate increase in federal funding for health care to 25% and the implementation of a national home care program and national drug plan.
Clearly, these petitioners do not believe in the kind of health care people have in the United States, and this is mentioned in the petition.
