Mr. Speaker, I also want to present some petitions regarding VIA Rail service in eastern Canada.

VIA Rail has experienced a lot of cuts lately, and service could be cut fully on July 1, when CN will abandon the line between Bathurst and Miramichi. This could have an effect on all VIA Rail service east of Quebec City.

I hope that the government is listening.
