Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I am pleased to present two petitions today signed by a number of Canadians including from my own riding of Mississauga South.
The first petition is on the subject matter 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 in countries such as Indonesia.
The petitioners also point out that Canada continues to enjoy respect in the international community as being a champion of human rights. Therefore the petitioners call on the Government of Canada to continue to speak out against human rights abuses around the world and to seek to bring to justice those responsible for such abuses.
