Mr. Speaker, yesterday former Liberal member of parliament and president of Canada's leading international human rights organization, Warren Allmand, joined with the Leonard Peltier Defence Committee in condemning the government and a recent report released by the justice minister justifying the extradition of Leonard Peltier.
Mr. Allmand conducted an internal review of the extradition under the previous justice minister and found the extradition was seriously flawed. He has compared Mr. Peltier's case to those of wrongfully convicted Canadians.
We urge the government to listen to the many human rights organizations, unions and concerned citizens from around the world and support their call for an independent inquiry into the extradition of Leonard Peltier.
