Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 I would like to present a petition from Canadians across the country who are concerned about what is happening in Latvia.
Along with the member of Parliament for Parkdale-High Park, over 600 Canadians are asking Parliament to urge Russia to withdraw its troops from Latvia. The people of Latvia have repeatedly demanded the withdrawal of Russian troops from a radar station on their border. They are concerned about the health impacts of radiation from this station.
The Canadians who signed this petition would like the federal government to make future aid to Russia dependent on respect for human rights of the people of Latvia.
