Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to present a petition signed by well over 100 Canadian citizens of Vietnamese origin. They ask the Government of Canada to use its good offices to secure the release of certain persons arrested as political prisoners, Dr. Nguyen Dan Que, Professor Doan Viet Hoat, Venerable Thich Quang Do, Rev. Pham Minh Tri, and Professor Nguyen Dinh Huy, and also to use its good offices to see that full political, religious and economic freedoms can be ensured for the people of Vietnam.
In the House of Commons on November 6th, 1997. See this statement in context.
