Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No. 36, I am pleased to present a petition on behalf of a number of Canadians, including those of 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 in countries such as Indonesia and Kosovo. They also acknowledge that Canada continues to be recognized as a champion of internationally recognized human rights.
Therefore, the petitioners call upon parliament to continue to speak out against human rights abuses and also to seek to bring to justice those responsible for such abuses.
