Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to stand with many of my colleagues and also present a petition signed by Canadians, condemning and showing concern for the genocide taking place against the Uighurs by the Communist Party of China.
These Canadians call to formally recognize the Uighurs in China who have been and are being subject to genocide. They call for the use of the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act, known as the Magnitsky act, and sanction those responsible for these heinous crimes.
It is incredible. We see satellite pictures of these concentration camps and to think that is happening in our world today is absolutely unacceptable.
