Mr. Speaker, the third and final petition I am presenting today is a petition from Canadians from across Canada who are concerned about the treatment of the Hazara community in Afghanistan.
This is one of the communities we protected when we were over there. There was formerly a genocidal campaign waged against them. When we were there helping to build Afghanistan, it was great, but now with the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban, the Hazara community is once again under threat.
Canadians from across Canada are calling for us to have a memorial day for the Hazara people, recognized on September 25. The petitioners are calling on the Canadian government to recognize September 25 as the Hazara memorial day.
The petitioners want to see real leadership from Canada, and they look forward to the government's response.
