Madam Speaker, as new Democrats, we also recognize China's mass detention, forced labour, surveillance and population control measures that have been directed against the Uighurs and Turkic Muslims fit the definition of genocide and we support an immediate, independent investigation. The Liberal government needs to act in concert with other countries and international organizations to put pressure on China to put an end of this.
The word “genocide” comes with a very serious responsibility. If the House of Commons passes this motion, what actions would the member opposite like to see the government take to ensure an end to the ongoing genocide of the Uighurs?
