Mr. Speaker, I am tabling a petition today that has been signed by over 250 of the residents of Pontiac County, Quebec. Over 3,000 individuals in that area of Shawville and Pontiac County have signed copies of this petition.
The petitioners call on the Government of Canada to halt the extradition of Stuart B. Collins, a local business person. He has been involved in the community and has hired dozens of people in this particular area of Shawville, Quebec.
He is being extradited under dubious, to say the least, justification. As we know, the minister and the government can intervene to halt that extradition.
These hundreds of petitioners from Pontiac County call on the government to do just that.
