There are no petitions in today's report because there are no paper petitions for me to present, and e-petitions certified after the winter sitting break are still open for signature. However, this means that there should be a bumper set of petitions included in the next committee report.

Members may be interested to know that, so far this year, 501 certified petitions have been presented to the House. Of those, 491 have been included in committee reports, like the report I presented just now. Private members presented the other 10 petitions after they'd been ruled in order by the committee. Should members be interested in presenting a petition, advice can be obtained from the secretariat. I thank the House.
