Mr. Speaker, I am presenting today a petition signed by residents of the city of Val-d'Or, the Vallée de l'Or RCM and workers at McWatters' Sigma-Lamague mine.
The petitioners are asking the government to make the rules governing existing programs more flexible and to ensure they are being used in resource regions.
Therefore, the petitioners call upon parliament to set up a financial assistance program for thin capitalization mines in Quebec's resource regions.
