Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition today signed by a number of Canadians, including from my own riding of Mississauga South.
The petitioners draw to the attention of the House that human rights violations continue in many countries around the world, including Indonesia.
The petitioners also acknowledge that Canada is internationally respected for its defence of universal human rights and in this, the 50th anniversary of the UN declaration of universal human rights, the petitioners call on the government to continue its efforts to speak out against countries which tolerate violations of human rights and to do whatever is possible to bring to justice those responsible for such abuses.
