Mr. Speaker, I am rising to speak as the chair of the Parliamentary Friends of the Kurds group here on Parliament Hill.
I want to give a name to the groups that the motion speaks to, the Yazidis, Assyrian Chaldean Christians, the Sabean Mandaean, the Shabak, the Turkmens, and the Kakaï, who have been targeted by ISIS in Daesh.
Could the member tell me what message the government is sending to these groups, to the Yazidis of the village of Kocho, who were mass murdered? What message is the government sending when it refuses to call this for what it is, genocide?
