Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I am pleased to present a petition signed by a number of Canadians, including those from my own constituency of Mississauga South, on the issue of human rights.
The petitioners draw to the attention of the House that violations of human rights continue to be rampant around the world in countries such as Indonesia.
They also acknowledge that Canada continues to be recognized internationally as a champion of human rights.
Therefore the petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to continue to speak out on behalf of those whose human rights are being violated and also to seek to bring to justice those responsible for such violations.
