Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present a petition from many members of my community in regard to the matter of missile defence.
My community is concerned that missile defence is designed to be a step toward weapons and war in space, including nuclear weapons and war.
The petitioners are calling upon Parliament to maintain Canada's multilateral approach to security and reaffirm this country's support for non-proliferation arms control and disarmament; to reject any and all plans for weapons and war in space, including plans for missile defence; and to seek Canada's withdrawal from any discussion of or participation in missile defence and the weaponization of space.
