Petitions
Hon. T. Christensen: I have a petition to table, please.

N. Macdonald: I'd like to present a petition from Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre, from Shelley and Casey Black. They are requesting an amendment to section 78 of the B.C. Wildlife Act requesting an exception to the stated rule for the use of trained Karelian bear dog teams for an aversive conditioning technique called bear shepherding. They've collected 6,000 signatures. It's taken them a year to put this together, and I present it to the House.

R. Fleming: I present a petition that requests that the House enact as law the national drug scheduling system, which restricts the sale of single-entity pseudoephedrine and ephedrine products to be dispensed by licensed pharmacists in pursuit of a strategy against the scourge of crystal meth in British Columbia.

D. Thorne: I have a petition endorsing removing cigarettes from sale in pharmacies — a petition with 1,312 signatures.
