Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure today to table in the House a petition signed by people in my riding who, though they are deeply saddened by the events of September 11, are concerned by the turn taken by events since that tragedy. They ask that the government be much more dispassionate and wiser in its actions.
The petitioners ask that the Canadian government act according to a logic of peace including a reflection on the causes of violence and taking into consideration the measures necessary to guarantee peace throughout the world, based on its traditional policy of aid to countries that need support.
