Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present today.
The first petition contains thousands of signatures of residents from Thunder Bay—Superior North who support the restoring of vital passenger rail service to the north shore that was cut in the early 1990s. It would be environmentally friendly, efficient and a big boost to the hard done communities of Marathon, Terrace Bay, Schreiber, Nipigon and Thunder Bay.
The petitioners are asking for parliamentarians to support Motion No. 291 to return passenger rail service to the north shore.
