Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to present a petition against the security and prosperity partnership of North America.
SPP reduces protection in pesticide use, reduced food and air safety, and brings the environment to the lowest common denominator. It also allows more U.S. control over Canadian energy and water.
These petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to stop the implementation of the security and prosperity partnership with the United States and Mexico, and consider its profound consequences on Canada's existence as a sovereign nation and its ability to adopt autonomous and sustainable economic, social and environmental policies.
The petitioners also the Government of Canada to conduct a transparent and accountable public debate of the SPP process.
