Mr. Speaker, Poland, a member of the European Union, has long been a close friend of Canada. and as a member NATO is actively promoting peace and security internationally.
This petition I am presenting represents many Canadians of Polish ancestry who call on Canada to establish reciprocity in our relations with Poland on visitor visa requirements.
This measure would bring greater education, cultural, business and scientific exchange and cooperation. The current policy places weeks in the way of this type of cooperation.
