Mr. Speaker, I have a petition that is signed by thousands of people from my riding and across this country. The petitioners draw our attention to the following: that Canada has committed to upholding the rights of asylum seekers and refugees by signing the 1951 UN convention on refugees and the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Accordingly, the petitioners request that Parliament insist that government immediately implement the refugee appeal division's approval by Parliament in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act of 2002.
In the House of Commons on June 7th, 2005. See this statement in context.
