Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to present a petition coming out of the St. Paul's riding in Toronto.
The residents of the Christie Gardens retirement home ask that the government adopt a carbon policy that applies a fee to greenhouse gas emissions at their source of production in Canada or port of entry into Canada, increase the fee over time, and distribute 100% of the money raised from the fee equally among all Canadians.
I would like to note that the lead signatories include: Bruna Nota, the former international president of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom; Ursula Franklin, the world renowned scholar; and Lois Wilson, the former moderator of the United Church of Canada.
