Mr. Speaker. I rise today on behalf of the residents of Abbotsford—South Langley, who are requesting that an alternative location be found for a proposed supportive housing project planned directly across from Abbotsford Traditional School. The project would place a facility expected to include a safe consumption room within 60 metres of a field and playground used by students aged 11 to 18.
The petitioners call on the Government of Canada to restrict funding for BC Housing until a more suitable location is found for the supportive housing project and to ensure that the federal government follows the guidelines designated to protect children and their well-being.
