Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to rise today to present two petitions.
The first is signed by residents literally from coast to coast, from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, all the way to Vancouver, British Columbia. The petitioners call for the passage of my private member's bill, Bill C-442, which proposes to develop a national strategy on Lyme disease.
I am encouraged by the fact that so many members on all sides of the House appear to be supportive of this effort.
