Madam Speaker, the second petition contains 55 pages signed by folks in east Vancouver.
The petitioners want to draw to our attention that Vancouver's Chinatown has been a vibrant hub for commercial, social and cultural activities in the Chinese community since the 19th century. The area has significant buildings of historical and cultural value, which reflect the social environment and the history of Chinese migration to Canada and the history of Vancouver.
They call upon the Government of Canada to preserve the rich legacy of Vancouver's Chinatown and to designate Chinatown as a national historic site.
