Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition on behalf of several dozens of citizens of the small community of Villebois, located in the northern part of my riding. This petition calls for the post office to remain open, which is extremely important to the local people. Should their post office close, they will have to go pick up their mail more than 70 kilometres away from Villebois. That means driving more than 140 kilometres every day.
In the House of Commons on November 25th, 2009. See this statement in context.
