Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise to present petitions on behalf of the residents of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, who have added their voices to this growing call for action.
Across northern Ontario, communities are asking the federal government to recognize the need to improve the Trans-Canada Highway 11 by designating it as a project of national interest. The people of Kirkland Lake are making it clear that northern Ontario deserves safer roads and stronger infrastructure.
People are working together. The Province of Ontario is taking steps to improve truck driver training and highway safety. Now we need all levels of government to sit together at the table.
