Mr. Speaker, I rise again today to present to the House another petition from the residents of Mackenzie, British Columbia, calling upon Parliament to reinstate their eligibility for the northern residents tax deduction.
This week alone I have tabled petitions on this issue with a total of 2,112 signatures, an impressive number given that Mackenzie's total population, including children, is just over 6,000. It is outright discrimination that has prompted my constituents to so strongly exercise their democratic voice. If the government is listening, it should immediately restore Mackenzie's eligibility for the northern residents tax deduction.
