[Petitions, November 30th, 1995]

Madam Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I am pleased to present a petition on behalf of my constituents in Regina-Lumsden who are concerned and opposed to the approval of the synthetic bovine growth hormone known as BGH or BST, the drug injected into cows to increase milk production.

The petitioners call on Parliament to take steps to keep BGH out of Canada through legislating a moratorium or stoppage on BGH use and sale until the year 2000, and examining the outstanding health and economic questions through independent and transparent review.
