Mr. Speaker, I continue to hear from my constituents who are very concerned about their family and friends living in Sri Lanka.
Increased violence in Sri Lanka has led to people being displaced, and we are hearing about terrible human rights abuses.
Recently a UN envoy and Nordic truce monitors have also raised significant concerns about human rights abuses amid renewed civil war.
It is time for the Canadian government to step up and take on a leadership role in finding a resolution to this conflict once and for all.
Canadians expect their government to take action without delay in light of these atrocities and will accept nothing less.
It is essential that we act now to ensure an immediate end to the violence which has cost so many innocent lives.
