Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure for me to rise today to table a petition on behalf of my constituents to deal with an important issue. The relationship between Canada and India continues to grow, in terms of the number of people who want to travel back and forth between Canada and India.
The petitioners are calling upon Parliament to do what it can to encourage additional flights, more specifically, for the community of Winnipeg to have more direct flights from Winnipeg into Europe and even possibly into India, whether that encouragement be provided by the Winnipeg Airports Authority, the Government of Canada or any member of Parliament.
