Madam Speaker, I have a petition to present to the House today signed by constituents in my riding and Canadians from across the country regarding the situation in Sudan.
The petitioners call upon the Canadian government to pursue targeted divestment from Sudan conditional upon the Sudanese government's cessation of the atrocities in Darfur, engage in the peace process, appoint a special envoy to the region, engage more actively in multilateral diplomacy at the UN., bring the Darfur issue to the international stage and rally greater international support for conflict resolution efforts.
