Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to rise in the House to present a petition started by a citizen of Saint-Cuthbert. A total of 518 people have signed this petition, which calls on the Minister of Transport to impose a moratorium on the construction or the expansion of an aerodrome in their community.
They are also asking for consultations to be conducted by a neutral and independent third party, and that measures to ensure high environmental standards be respected.
This petition is very important to citizens' confidence and the social licence for major aerospace development in their community.
I truly hope that the Minister of Transport will listen to them and hopefully avoid a repeat of what happened in Neuville, Mascouche, and Terrebonne.
