Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present petition e-1402, with 1,451 signatures, initiated by Barbara Birkett and a group of Oakville residents who are passionate about nuclear disarmament.
The petitioners say that the use of any nuclear weapons would have catastrophic consequences and nuclear weapons are the only weapons of mass destruction not yet prohibited by an international agreement. They call upon the Government of Canada to sign and ratify the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
