Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased as the member for Vancouver Quadra to also be presenting petitions that were collected by Dogwood Initiative.
Many people in Vancouver Quadra are concerned about potential oil spills on the Pacific north coast. They know that since 1972, when a Liberal government put protection in that area, the Liberals have stood for protecting the environment and for excluding oil tankers from the Pacific north coast. We continue to stand for excluding tankers in that area because of the environmental risks.
I am pleased to be tabling the names of those who agree with the sentiment, and we call on the government to pay attention.
