Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present today. It is a great pleasure to present this first petition on behalf of constituents in my riding of Newton—North Delta and surrounding areas.
The proposal to transfer coal through the Fraser Surrey Docks has raised concern for many people living in Surrey and Delta.
The petitioners are calling on the Government of Canada to carry out a comprehensive health impact assessment of the proposed expansion of coal transfers at the Fraser Surrey Docks.
Like my constituents, I look forward to the government's response to their request for a third-party assessment of the health impacts of this project.
