Mr. Speaker, I have the honour of presenting four petitions today. The first one is a petition on behalf of Canadians who are concerned that certain charities could be targeted based on their views and forced into a values test. The petitioners note that the Liberals have promised to deny charitable status to groups with views they call dishonest. They say it could jeopardize the charitable status of hospitals, houses of worship, schools, homeless shelters and other organizations. They also note that the Liberals previously used a values test to discriminate against groups applying for the Canada summer jobs grant. The petitioners ask the House of Commons protect and preserve the application of charitable status rules on a politically and ideologically neutral basis without discrimination on the basis of political or religious views and without imposing another values test. They also ask for an affirmation of their freedom of expression as Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, another petition I have is from constituents and Canadians across the country who want a permanent end to the vaccine and COVID mandates. Right now, the government has only suspended some of the mandates. The petitioners note that countries around the world have removed their vaccine mandates and restrictions, and they call upon the government and the Minister of Transport to end all federally regulated COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are suffering from inflation and the Liberals' carbon tax. In my final petition, petitioners say the carbon tax drives up the cost of everyday essentials, including gas, groceries and heating, and makes life very expensive for Canadians. The Bank of Canada said the carbon tax has increased the impact of inflation. Also, the carbon tax is an added expense to Canadian businesses and creates economic disadvantages compared to other nations. The petitioners call for an end to the carbon tax. They want the government to control inflation and reduce its spending. Finally, they want to see pipelines and other projects approved, especially LNG projects; and pipelines getting clean ethical Canadian energy to tidewater; and international markets to displace the fuel provided by the authoritarian regimes and dictators.

Mr. Speaker, my third petition calls for the passing of last Parliament's Bill S-203, which in this Parliament is now Bill S-210. The petitioners are concerned about how easy it is for young people to access sexually explicit material online, including violent and degrading explicit material. They comment on how this access is an important public health and public safety concern. Petitioners note that a significant portion of commercially accessed sexually explicit material has no age verification software. Moreover, the age verification software can ascertain the age of users without breaching their privacy rights. Petitioners note that many serious harms associated with sexually explicit material include the development of addiction and the development of attitudes favourable to sexual violence and harassment of women. As such, these petitioners call on the House of Commons to pass legislation protecting young people.
