Madam Speaker, I rise today to present a petition signed by 190 people of my riding of Red Deer, Alberta. The petitioners believe that, with the recent federal election results, Canadians provided the present government with a clear and strengthened mandate. They also believe that Canadians have the democratic right to choose who will govern them. Therefore, the petitioners call upon Parliament to oppose any political arrangement that would replace Her Majesty's democratically elected government.
In the House of Commons on February 27th, 2009. See this statement in context.
