Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition on behalf of the residents of Logan Lake, Kamloops and Ashcroft, all in British Columbia, who draw to the attention of the House the importance of Canada's mining industry.
They make a number of very forceful points which I will not repeat here. They are simply calling upon Parliament to take action that will increase employment in the mining sector, promote exploration for the mining sector, rebuild Canada's mineral reserves, sustain our mining communities, and essentially keep mining in Canada.
