They are presenting a petition to the House asking the Government of Canada to lift the visitor visa requirements for Polish citizens so they can increase family visitations, tourism, cultural exchanges and trade missions to Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873413\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is supported by 800,000 Canadians of Polish heritage. Canadian citizens no longer require a visitor visa to Poland. Poland is now using biometric passport technology, which is a very secure passport identification system.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873414\" data-originallang=\"en\">I bring this petition to the attention of all members of the House of Commons and, once again, ask that Parliament lift the visa requirements for the Republic of Poland.</p>",

De ce nombre, 20 p. 100 sont d'origine polonaise et habitent dans ma circonscription. Les signataires pr\u00e9sentent une p\u00e9tition \u00e0 la Chambre pour demander au gouvernement du Canada d'exempter les citoyens polonais de l'obligation d'obtenir un visa afin d'accro\u00eetre les visites familiales, le tourisme, les \u00e9changes culturels et les missions commerciales au Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873413\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quelque 800 000 Canadiens d'origine polonaise appuient cette mesure. Les citoyens canadiens n'ont plus besoin d'obtenir un visa de visiteur pour aller en Pologne. La Pologne utilise maintenant la technologie biom\u00e9trique pour les passeports, un syst\u00e8me d'authentification des passeports tr\u00e8s s\u00fbr. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"873414\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'attire l'attention de tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de la Chambre des communes sur cette p\u00e9tition et, encore une fois, je demande au Parlement d'abolir les exigences relatives aux visas pour la R\u00e9publique de Pologne. </p>"
