Mr. Speaker, in the aftermath of the many demonstrations which have taken place in Quebec, denouncing the Government of Canada for its reluctance to get involved in any way in the war in Iraq, I have a petition to present.
I am presenting a petition signed by 1,011 persons, calling on the Canadian government to ask the United Nations to remove the harsh economic sanctions imposed on Iraq, because these sanctions are contrary to the interest of the Iraqi people and even constitute a crime against humanity.
Will we ever know how many Iraqis have died because of these sanctions?
