Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw the attention of this House to the ongoing human rights abuses in Iran.
Many citizens of Iran dream of the opportunity to enjoy the freedoms that we in Canada take for granted every day. Despite international diplomatic efforts and United Nations resolutions, the abuse continues on a daily basis.
I call upon this House to join the voices of my constituents in Kitchener Centre in calling for an end to the crimes again humanity and the injustice in Iran. The promotion of peace, international cooperation, social justice and human rights are fundamental Canadian values.
I implore this Parliament to work with the international community to raise our collective voices in opposition to the human rights abuses in Iran.
