Mr. Speaker, it is with great interest that I am tabling this petition signed by 1,202 Quebeckers from throughout Quebec.
The petition's message to Canada is that Canada's full or partial involvement in the United States missile defence plan would go against our interests and values.
This petition is more evidence that the people of Quebec are against the missile defence shield. I want to remind hon. members that according to a CRIC poll conducted on November 4, 65% of Quebeckers and 52% of Canadians are against this bill.
Here is hoping that the government will hear the message in this petition and realize that it must say no to the missile defence project.
