Mr. Speaker, today I present a petition on behalf of residents in my riding of Thunder Bay—Superior North who are concerned about the disappearance of honey bees in Canada and around the world.
The petitioners are counting upon the federal government to immediately establish a refuge zone for honey bees in northwestern Ontario, where we are free from honey bee diseases. A honey bee refuge zone in northwestern Ontario is vital to the preservation of one of the last healthy populations of honey bees left in the world.
