Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions here representing over 320 names. They also are calling to suspend the security and prosperity partnership of North America, thanks mainly to the work of my hon. colleague from Burnaby--New Westminster.
The petitioners are calling upon the government to stop further implementation of the security and prosperity partnership of North America with the United States and Mexico until there is a democratic mandate from the people of Canada, parliamentary oversight and consideration of its profound consequences on Canada's existence as a sovereign nation, and also our ability to adopt autonomous and sustainable economic, social and environmental policies.
The petitioners urge the Government of Canada to conduct a transparent and accountable public debate of the SPP process involving meaningful public consultations with civil society and a full legislative review, including the work, recommendations and reports of all SPP working groups, and a full debate and vote in Parliament.
