Mr. Speaker, my second petition is another one on behalf of the men and women in the Canadian armed forces who reside on base. This is from residents of Lakefield in Peterborough, Ontario.
The petition notes that the housing accommodations provided by the Canadian Forces Housing Agency in many incidents are substandard to acceptable living conditions. It notes that families of Canadian Forces soldiers living in accommodation provided by the Canadian Forces Housing Agency have seen dramatic increases in their rental charges.
Therefore, the petitioners call upon Parliament to immediately suspend any future rent increases for accommodation provided by the Canadian Forces Housing Agency until such time as the Government of Canada makes substantive improvements to the living conditions of housing provided for our military families.
