Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 and on behalf of the constituents in Erie--Lincoln riding, I am pleased to present a petition that acknowledges that many Canadians suffer from debilitating diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, muscular dystrophy, et cetera. They acknowledge that Canadians support ethical stem cell research and refer to non embryonic stem cells, known as adult stem cells, which have shown significant research progress without the immune rejection or ethical problems associated with embryonic stem cells.
They call upon Parliament to concentrate its legislative support on adult stem cell research to find the cures and therapies necessary to cure the illnesses of our suffering Canadians.
