Mr. Speaker, the previous presenter actually went through the entire preamble of my presentation so I will just reiterate the key part.
The petitioners recognize that hundreds of thousands of Canadians are suffering from illnesses and diseases which can be possibly helped through stem cell research. They call on the government to back the research into adult stem cell research, which is actually superior to embryonic research. They urge that this be done because of the moral considerations as well as the fact that it is a proven opportunity for better solutions from the adult cells than from the embryonic ones.
