Madam Speaker, I came to the chamber today prepared to try to persuade all members to vote in favour of this motion calling out the Communist Chinese government on genocide. Whatever reasons an individual member may have, such as the member for Vancouver East, I hope that they will vote in favour of this. I believe that is the big thing. We all will have a reason, but the best reason is to protect our values and to call out China and not allow a normalization of the current path that, if we do not intercede as a country, may continue to happen.
