Mr. Speaker, I will briefly summarize my three petitions.
Constituents and others have asked that this petition be tabled here and that the government take action on an issue that we rarely hear about, which is the looming threat of the commercial farming of cephalopods. These are octopus and squid. Commercial industrial farming operations in other countries are threatening to come into Canada.
The petitioners ask that large-scale aquatic farms of cephalopods be banned in Canada, that we take action to ban the importation of farmed cephalopod products and that we prohibit the breeding and raising of these sentient beings within farms in Canada.
