Mr. Speaker, my second petition is signed by nearly 600 people from almost every province in Canada.
These written petitions resonate with the over 58,000 signatures that were revealed earlier today by the group Avaaz.
These petitioners from my riding, Mayne Island, North Saanich, Sidney, as well as from other places within British Columbia, Ottawa, Montreal, Alberta, Calgary and Edmonton, virtually coast to coast, from almost every province, call on this House of Commons to reject Bill C-38. They are calling on the current Privy Council officers to withdraw the parts of the bill that have nothing to do with the budget so that parliamentarians can do their job and vote on a budget implementation bill without voting to destroy environmental laws.
