Hon. Judy A. Sgro (Humber River—Black Creek, Lib.)
Madam Speaker, I am pleased to finally have the opportunity to present these petitions. Over eight million people are suffering from eye diseases, and 1.2 million live with vision loss or blindness. Therefore, petitioners call upon the House of Commons to adopt Bill C-284, an act that would establish a national strategy for eye care, as soon as possible. This was done a few days ago, and I am very pleased that it was done.

Madam Speaker, I am here to present a number of petitions today. I am going to start with a petition in light of recent events and of Remembrance Day coming up. The folks who have signed this petition are calling on the House of Canada to respect the tradition of honouring and affirming the roles of faith in the Canadian Armed Forces. The Canadian Armed Forces chaplaincy program contributes to the health, morale and spiritual well-being of servicemen and women from all faiths and non-faith backgrounds. The Liberal government has attempted to undermine the rights of these servicemen and women by prohibiting chaplains from doing their job. Petitioners are calling on the Government of Canada to reaffirm that the Canadian Armed Forces chaplaincy is free to support servicemen and women through public prayer in keeping with the hard-won and honourable traditions of the Canadian Armed Forces, especially on Remembrance Day.

Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. When members present multiple petitions, it is great and wonderful, but it is much appreciated if they can keep them as concise as possible. I understand other people want to present petitions.

I want to remind members that they are to provide a brief statement. I know that the hon. member has tabled many petitions, but they have not been very lengthy. He is doing what he is supposed to be doing, so I will allow him to continue. The hon. member for Peace River—Westlock.
