Mr. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 36(8)(a), I have the honour to table in both official languages the government's responses to two petitions. These returns will be tabled in an electronic format. While I am on my feet, I would like to thank my caucus for the wonderful gift and recognition in giving me some chicken nuggets.

Mr. Speaker, I rise briefly to present three petitions. The first recognizes that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has warned us repeatedly that rising temperatures over the next two decades, if left unabated, will bring, in their words, widespread devastation and extreme weather. The petitioners go on to note that the summer of 2023 was the hottest three months, globally, on record. They note that over the past decade, 85% of warming from greenhouse gases has come from burning fossil fuels, that the oil and gas sector is the largest emitter in the country and that the federal government in 2021 committed to an oil and gas cap. Petitioners then call on the government to move forward immediately with a bold emissions cap for the oil and gas sector that is comprehensive in scope and realistic in achieving an interim and science-based target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions to table. The first petition I am tabling states that brain cancer, in 2023, affected 3,200 Canadians and claimed the lives of 2,500. Vorasidenib is a life-extending medication currently only available in the United States. It remains inaccessible to Canadians. The petitioners are calling on the Government of Canada to improve access to brain cancer treatments by empowering Health Canada to expedite the use of patient and laboratory in vitro data to expand access to drugs for brain cancer treatment where clinical trials are not feasible and develop a regulatory model that would permit the approval of brain cancer treatment medications that can extend patients' lives.
