Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a certified petition on behalf of the great residents of Windsor West and the surrounding region.

The petitioners draw the attention of the House to the ecological, cultural and community significance of the Ojibway Prairie Complex and the adjacent natural areas, which are home to rare and endangered species and lands of great importance to indigenous people. They note that the proposal to establish an Ojibway national urban park has been advanced in Parliament, most recently by a private member's bill, Bill C-248, in the last Parliament.

This has already been considered by all the appropriate committees. The petitioners therefore respectfully request that the Government of Canada, in collaboration with Parks Canada, the City of Windsor and the relevant first nations and provincial partners, take the necessary steps to finalize and enact the designation of an Ojibway national urban park to ensure long-term protection, ecological restoration and public access for current and future generations.

I am tabling this petition on their behalf with great pride and honour.

I thank the hon. member for Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes for his intervention. However, I am not satisfied that this request meets the requirements of the Standing Orders at this time.
