by leave—The Petitions Committee is taking this opportunity to present these ministerial responses to petitions before the House adjourns for the year, rather than waiting until parliament resumes next February. These 21 ministerial responses were received by the committee at its last meeting. Now that they have been presented to the House, they can be published on the parliament's website and sent to the principal petitioners, who will be very pleased to receive them. I thank the House.
