Mr. Speaker, I am presenting a petition in which the petitioners are calling on the Government of Canada to recognize the importance of the Experimental Lakes Area to the Government of Canada's mandate to study, preserve and protect aquatic ecosystems.
The petitioners are also calling on the government to reverse the decision to close the Experimental Lakes Area research station.
Lastly, they are calling on the government to continue to employ research staff and provide financial resources to the Experimental Lakes Area.
