Mr. Speaker, this is my first opportunity to rise in the House since your election; congratulations to you. I have two petitions to present today. The first is from members of my community who are part of the Falun Gong community; they are bringing three asks to the attention of the government specifically. The first is that a resolution is passed to establish measures to stop the Chinese Communist regime from systematically murdering Falun Gong practitioners for their organs. The second is to amend Canadian legislation to combat forced organ harvesting. The third is to publicly call for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present today. I rise today in support of not only Brooke from Nelson but also people from Kootenay—Columbia, Oshawa and across Canada. I present a petition with hundreds of signatures on proposed changes to natural health product regulations that the NDP-Liberal government have proposed to Health Canada. We rely on health products every day as part of our proactive health care. Health Canada is proposing significant fees for importing, manufacturing and selling NHPs, as well as new labelling laws. This over-regulation would force people to seek products online and outside of Canada. I stand with and support the natural health product industry and call on the Minister of Health to work with the industry to embrace modern labelling and cost recovery rates to reflect the scope of the industry.

Mr. Speaker, I have a number of petitions to present today. The first petition I am presenting is on behalf of Canadian pilots, folks who are in training for their pilot licence. They are concerned about the fact they are having difficulty getting their licence as Transport Canada and Nav Canada have been less than helpful in scheduling these tests. They have been prevented from taking their examinations and receiving their certification. They note that schools across Canada are open and operating safely, but Transport Canada and Nav Canada are not putting forward solutions that allow them to take their exams in a timely fashion. The petitioners are asking the government to open these offices and create other facilities or mechanisms so students can write their exams and be able to receive their commercial pilot licence in a timely manner.
