Mr. Speaker, I rise today to table two petitions.
The first is from a group of high school students in my riding who seek to have Canada's government take a strong stand against the ongoing genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan. These students have worked diligently to pressure not only government in Canada but all around the world to take a strong principled stand to defend the more than 80,000 people in Darfur who have been displaced.
