Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 I am pleased to present this petition on behalf of a number of Canadians including from my own riding of Mississauga South on the subject of human rights.
The petitioners would like to draw to the attention of the House that human rights abuses continue to be rampant around the world, including countries such as Indonesia.
The petitioners also acknowledge that Canada is internationally recognized as the champion of human rights. Therefore the petitioners call upon parliament to continue to condemn those countries responsible for human rights abuses and also to seek to bring to justice those responsible for such abuses.
