Mr. Speaker, in this year celebrating the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I am pleased to present a petition signed by a number of Canadians, including from my riding of Mississauga South.
The petitioners would like to draw to the attention of the House that human rights violations continue in many countries around the world, including Indonesia. They also acknowledge that Canada is internationally respected for its defence of universal human rights.
The petitioners therefore call upon the government to continue its efforts to speak out against countries which tolerate violation of human rights and to do whatever is possible to bring to justice those responsible for such abuses.
