Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions coming from a very vibrant Polish community in my constituency, which joins with many other Polish Canadians across Canada, asking the government to lift the visa requirements for people coming from Poland.
The petitioners believe that this makes sense in terms of Poland's involvement in the European Union. They also believe that this would increase family visitation, tourism, cultural exchanges and trade missions and, therefore, would benefit both of our countries.
On behalf of all of those citizens, the petition calls upon Parliament to lift the visa requirements for the Republic of Poland.
