Madam Speaker, I have a few petitions to present today. The first petition is on public prayer in the Canadian Armed Forces. The recent directive that was issued to military chaplains banning religious symbols and prayer at public ceremonies, such as that of Remembrance Day, undermines our religious freedom. Ironically, this is one of the very values that our men and women in uniform have fought to defend. The petitioners are calling on the House of Commons to affirm the right to public prayer in our Canadian Armed Forces.
