Mr. Speaker, the final petition relates to stem cell research. The petitioners would like to draw to the attention of the House that the majority of Canadians support ethical stem cell research and that particularly non-embryonic stem cells, known as adult stem cells, have shown great promise without the immune rejection or ethical problems associated with embryonic stem cells.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to support legislative initiatives which promote adult stem cell research to find the therapies and cures necessary for Canadians.
