Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the briefest description and my Member's statement and questions, I talked about the -- how easy we could do a Trespass Act. I'm tabling four copies from jurisdictions of their various forms, and they also come with various names, but they all are the same thing.

So I'm going to table the Government of Manitoba's Trespass Act. I'd like to table the Petty Trespass Act by the Province of Alberta. I'd like to table the Trespass Act from Nova Scotia. And finally, I would like to -- oh yes, the Trespass Act from BC. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
