Madam Speaker, I am pleased to finally have the opportunity to present these petitions.
Over eight million people are suffering from eye diseases, and 1.2 million live with vision loss or blindness. Therefore, petitioners call upon the House of Commons to adopt Bill C-284, an act that would establish a national strategy for eye care, as soon as possible.
This was done a few days ago, and I am very pleased that it was done.
