Mr. Speaker, the third petition actually contains approximately 10,000 signatures from the west coast of British Columbia right through to Atlantic Canada, although it originated from a group of very conscientious volunteers in my riding.
The petitioners are concerned about the lack of palliative care, the care for those who are dying. They call upon parliament to collaborate with the provinces to provide funding to provide for home care and pharmacare for the dying. They also request collaboration with them for appropriate education and training for all members of end of life teams, for the provision of financial assistance and job protection for family members who provide care for the dying as recommended in the Carstairs report. This petition has 10,000 signatures and more will follow.
