Mr. Speaker, I rise to present two petitions.
The first petition is from 32 individuals in or near the riding of Edmonton—St. Albert.
The petitioners call upon the House to refrain from making any changes that would compromise farmers' rights to add to their costs. They also call upon this Parliament to enshrine in legislation the inalienable rights of farmers and other Canadians to save, reuse, select, exchange and sell seeds.
Similarly, I rise to table a petition from 205 members of the Edmonton—St. Albert constituency.
The petitioners call upon the House to adopt international aid policies that support small family farmers and to ensure that Canadian policies and programs are developed in consultation with small family farmers to use and freely exchange seeds.
