Mr. Speaker, I would like to table a petition in this House concerning the need for Polish visitors to have a visa to enter Canada.
The petitioners wish to remind the Canadian government that Poland has been a member of the European Union since 2004, that it is a member of NATO, that it is using biometric passport technology, that the need for a visa is harmful to cultural exchanges, trade and family visits, and that Canadians do not need a visa to visit Poland.
Accordingly, the petitioners are calling on Canada to lift the visa requirements for Polish visitors to Canada.
