Mr. Speaker, I rise to present two petitions.
The petitioners urge the government to save the Kitsilano Coast Guard station. The petitioners say that the recent decision by the federal government to close the Kitsilano station is a grave mistake and that it will undoubtedly cost the lives of those in peril on the shores and waters near Vancouver Harbour.
The petitioners are urging the Government of Canada to rescind the decision and reinstate funding to maintain the Coast Guard station at Kitsilano.
