Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition signed by many constituents.
The petitioners call on the government to support Bill C-237, the candidate gender equity act. The constituents point out that women still only hold 26% of the seats here in this place and Canada is ranked 64th in the world in terms of gender representation in our legislature.
My constituents would like the legislation passed and we will have a chance to do that tomorrow night when we vote on the bill.
