Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to rise again to present a petition on behalf of constituents. I rise on behalf of the people of Swan River on the alarming increase in violent crime that has threatened the safety and well-being of families across the region.

The petitioners are experiencing the consequences of the soft-on-crime Liberal policies, such as Bill C-5 and Bill C-75. Bill C-5 repealed mandatory jail time for serious crimes, and Bill C-75 forces judges to release repeat violent offenders right back onto our streets. Petitioners are concerned that, since 2015, extortion in Canada has increased by 330% while violent crime is up 55%.

Petitioners in the Swan River Valley want to see an end to the Liberals' reckless catch-and-release policies so that they can feel safe in their own community. This is why the people of Swan River are demanding jail, not bail, for repeat violent offenders. I support the good people of Swan River.

Mr. Speaker, I have four petitions to present today.

The first petition comes from citizens across this country. More than 30,000 Canadians have signed this petition. It is a petition recognizing that there is an ongoing genocide happening in Gaza, that civilians in Gaza are enduring prolonged periods without food as aid is blocked, that UN agencies confirm mass starvation, that nearly 90% of Gaza's population has been forcibly displaced and that the United Nations, the International Criminal Court and human rights experts have opened or supported investigations into war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza.

The signatories to this petition plead with the Government of Canada to immediately suspend all arms exports to Israel, to support war crime investigations, to demand unrestricted aid access and to end its complicity in violations of international law.

The second petition has been signed by almost 20,000 Canadian citizens.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of innocent civilian lives, including the lives of innocent children. The people who have signed this petition are urging the Government of Canada to work with international partners, including the United Nations, to urgently deploy peacekeeping forces to Gaza to protect civilians, to support the delivery of humanitarian aid and to uphold Canada's commitment to international humanitarian law and the responsibility to protect vulnerable populations.

Mr. Speaker, the third is a petition that is being presented in the context of the deteriorating political situation in Pakistan, concerning democracy, human rights and the safety of Canadian Pakistanis who have been vocal in their support for these causes.

Those who have signed this petition ask the Government of Canada to call for an immediate inquiry into the tragic events of November 26, 2024, in which the military regime opened fire on unarmed protesters, as well as an inquiry into the tainted February 2024 general elections. They call for the immediate release of Imran Khan and other political prisoners in Pakistan. They ask the Government of Canada to issue a statement in solidarity with the restoration of the people's mandate and democratic governance in Pakistan.

Mr. Speaker, finally, I present a petition that has been signed by Canadians from coast to coast. They note that during the dissolution of the 44th Parliament, petition e-5345 was not able to get a response, and this muzzled the voices of the 66,562 Canadians from 10 provinces and three territories who signed the petition.

The petition declared that Donald J. Trump is a convicted and sentenced felon of the United States of America; that he is an insurrectionist, having engaged in one on his own U.S. Capitol; and that he is making ongoing threats of both a monetary and a sovereignty-related nature against Canada. The petitioners ask that Donald Trump be refused entry to Canada until such time as he ceases and desists from making threats or taking actions contrary to the well-being of Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise to present e-petition 6636, which has been signed by about 2,500 Canadians. I will summarize it, but the presentation deals with a slightly complicated transaction, in which Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, a former Atomic Energy of Canada Limited subsidiary that is currently managed and controlled by what used to be called SNC-Lavalin, now AtkinsRéalis, has entered into a relationship with a consortium of U.S. firms.

The petitioners explain that these are called the Nuclear Laboratories Partners of Canada, but they are U.S. firms scheduled to receive the largest public contract in the history of Canada, at $24 billion over 20 years, proposing to manage the facilities of Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and ancillary assets.

The petitioners also point out how many billions and tens of billions of dollars have been directed to Canadian Nuclear Laboratories since SNC-Lavalin took over.

The petitioners call on the government to ask and instruct the Auditor General to conduct an independent, objective and systematic assessment of how well AECL is managing its activities and responsibilities and to prohibit the agencies or other parts of this consortium from entering into contracts with the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories Partners of Canada or any other private body until an audit is complete and results are publicly available and discussed in Parliament. I cannot call them “Canadian” because they are from the U.S.

Mr. Speaker, I wonder if there would be willingness to allow leave for the Minister of International Trade to quickly table a report that we were hoping to table a little earlier.

Is that agreed?

Some hon. members: Agreed.
