Mr. Speaker, I present a petition on behalf of some of my constituents regarding the emergency order for the protection of greater sage grouse.
The petitioners state that Canadians enjoy, protect and respect a diversity of wildlife, habitat and natural resources, that ecosystems must remain flourishing, reproductive and harvestable, and that the emergency order for the protection of greater sage grouse will not effectively achieve its goal.
The petitioners are calling for a number of things, including rescinding the emergency protection order and replacing it with an order that encourages voluntary implementation and involvement with local landowners, land users and all stakeholders.
