The first comes from Hampton, Ontario.</p>\n<p>The petitioners draw to the attention of the House that our police and firefighters place their lives at risk on a daily basis as they serve the emergency needs of all Canadians. They also state that in many cases the families of officers who are killed in the line of duty are often left without sufficient financial means to meet their obligations.</p>\n<p>The petitioners therefore pray and call on Parliament to establish a public safety officers' compensation fund to receive gifts and bequests for the benefit of families of police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty.</p>",
