Madam Speaker, I am pleased to present two petitions on behalf of my constituents of Comox-Alberni.
The first contains 516 signatures, which brings the total number of signatures to over 6,000. This is significant since it represents over 10 per cent of the voters in my riding.
The petitioners request that Parliament allow Canadian citizens to vote directly in a national binding referendum on the restoration of the death penalty for first degree murder convictions.
