Mr. Speaker, I have a few petitions to present tonight.
The first petition comes from Canadians across the country who are concerned about the treatment of the armed forces chaplaincy. They are concerned about recent reports that have come out saying that chaplains may not pray at Remembrance Day ceremonies. They note that Canada has a long tradition of respecting and honouring the role of faith traditions in the Canadian Armed Forces. These Canadians are calling upon Parliament to reaffirm that the Canadian Armed Forces ought to be free to support servicemen and servicewomen who, through public prayer, keep their hard-won and honourable traditions of the armed forces, especially on Remembrance Day.
