Mr. Speaker, this kind of lip service means nothing if no action is taken.
A woman in my riding is asking her government for help. If the government really cares about human rights, now is the time to prove it.
Raif Badawi was sentenced to 1,000 lashes for creating a blog that Saudi authorities did not like. He has already received 50 lashes. How many more does he have to bear before Canada takes a clear stand on the matter?
When will the government finally walk the talk and put some real pressure on the government of Saudi Arabia to release this activist?
