Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to present a petition on behalf of residents of the province of Ontario.
The petitioners wish to draw the attention of the House to the fact that financial cuts to the Trent-Severn Waterway will have several adverse effects on the system that include: reduced recreational boating; drinking water systems being affected by lower and higher water levels; important first nations archeological discoveries being lost; fish populations being affected by the new development and possibly more invasive species entering the ecosystem, just to name a few.
They therefore ask that no cuts be made to this important water system.
