Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition on behalf of a number of Canadians, including Canadians from my own riding of Mississauga South. It has to do with human rights.
The petitioners would like to draw to the attention of the House that this is the year marking the 50th anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights, that Canada is an internationally recognized leader in promoting human rights around the world and that human rights abuses tragically continue in many countries around the world, including countries such as Indonesia.
The petitioners therefore call upon parliament and Canada to appeal for action to be taken by leaders of countries where human rights are not being protected and to seek to bring to justice those responsible for the violation of internationally recognized human rights.
