Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise today to present this petition on behalf of constituents of the Windsor and Essex county area. This petition calls upon the Minister of Finance and draws to his attention the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of individuals and organizations that support the make poverty history campaign, requiring more and better aid, debt cancellation, trade justice, and poverty reduction in Canada and abroad. They are asking the federal budget to be in line with that statement and to improve Canada's relationship with development and poverty across international boundaries as well as at home.
In the House of Commons on April 30th, 2007. See this statement in context.
