Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to present two petitions. The first is signed by literally hundreds and hundreds of people from Sidney, in my riding, Victoria, Vancouver, Prince George and many locations throughout British Columbia. The petitioners call on the Government of Canada to refuse to ratify the Canada-China investment treaty, based on the fact that it affects Canada's sovereignty and undermines our ability to pass domestic laws and regulations, municipally, provincially and federally, giving the People's Republic of China the right to challenge these laws and sue for billions.
We certainly wish good luck to the Hupacasath First Nations, who are before the Federal Court in Vancouver today.
