Mr. Speaker, I too would like to table petitions with respect to restoring the Great Lakes water levels. The petitions are signed by constituents from across Manitoulin Island, as well as from other communities, such as Wahnapitae, Garson, Paris, Sarnia, Toronto, Kanata, Highgate, Sudbury, Dowling, North Bay and London. People are quite concerned with respect to the levels of the Great Lakes and the fact that Lake Huron has actually dropped by four to five feet since 1999, with no signs of rebounding in over 13 years.
Petitioners are asking the government to take action on the levels of the Great Lakes because it is not only affecting people in those areas who use the lakes but their economy as well.
